Perhaps these services need upload limits during peak hours like Vimeo (still??) has. Or at least throttling uploads over freezing up the whole network
At the very least some kind of server rule asking people not to literally dump 100 hour long videos in a row, but to maybe instead bring their best ones over and take it as an opportunity to leave the trash videos behind!
Makertube admin just posted another update for anyone who's interested what sort of effect this is having and how much hosting such things costs https://mastodon.social/@MakerTube/111268033207325923
