Itd be nice if there was a way for ppl to rent their own channels off an instance rather than a whole instance, since that instance gets expensive hosting it by yourself, built in way like a 1$ a month a channel could cover hosting costs maybe
Comment on I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good

How are PeerTube instances funded? I’d imagine that the cost of running an instance is significantly higher than a Lemmy instance.

Depending on the size of your uploads, that could cost a whole lot more than $1.

Depends entirely on the instance. Mine runs on the same server with a bunch of other stuff so virtually nothing.

Depends on the instance and activity levels. I run a very small one on my own, and it costs ~$10 each month for server rental and b2 storage.
If I was running it on a broader scale, it would start to add up, but I mostly wanted to help with federation and reliability, and that’s fairly inexpensive.
