I'm also thinking of a subscription model for MakerTube like Spectra is discussing it. Price increase at Hetzner's is hitting us quite hard (roughly +30%) and I don't know how to cover costs for future storage increase. Sadly I must say that the donation based approach has its limits. A good portion of the costs are covered by early adopters even though we see a constant growth in the user base. Wdyt? #peertube #makertube #finance #donations #hetzner #hosting #costs
New accounts on MakerTube are now moved over to the subscription model. Please choose a storage plan according to your needs, quota will be applied after successful payment/checkout. Existing users can already move over to the new model by subscribing, otherwise I will move them over later this year. Plans are tightly calculated, please subscribe to a bigger plan if possible.

in reply to MakerTube • • •Based on prior discussions, a storage based subscription plan for MakerTube could look like this:
- free until 2GB
- 10GB 3€/mo
- 100GB 5€/mo
- 250GB 10€/mo
- 500GB 20€/mo
- 1000GB 35€/mo
The plan is to enable it for new users in the near future and move existing users over later this year.
