Can anyone recommend a #PeerTube instance for hosting long original video interviews?

Am happy to donate towards upkeep - indeed would prefer to know there was a model for paying for hosting, moderation and maintenance, as would like to think the instance will still be up in a decade's time.

UPDATE: thank everyone for boosts, suggestions & offers.

I ended up with own instance via @weingaertner_it in the end. Covered by GDPR, "100% green electricity", £6/month and lets me use the open.movie domain I've been sitting on since shutting my last expensive attempt at PeerTube a few years ago.

There's a good general one at https://tubefree.org which already carries many long original interviews by the owners of the instance. I'm sure they'd be fine with others uploading interviews too.

Also if you are okay paying for hosting might be worth considering your own instance through something like @fedihost , it's a lot cheaper than people realise (https://fedihost.co/hosting/peertube).

@nicol@social.coop if you need ANY help in setting up Peertube, any questions, if you want to federate with me, just let me know!

Honestly MORE Peertube servers is only a good thing as far as I'm concerned.

And, yes, sadly, open signups are just trouble. Having even a few barriers to entry, while it does put off some, has helped me keep the server fairly easy to manage. Folks have to ask to get an account. Then I make them ask again for some storage. Then I monitor the videos they put up until I know we're all on equal footing and then let them upload whatever.

It's a lot of work, but there's only been 1 instance of someone attempting to post copyrighted content and I turned them away and they haven't come back.

I'm hoping to offer like 50GB free, and then $1/month or $5/month above that. That little bit of money, those hurdles, show that if someone wants to do that, they're wanting to be a member of a community and not just use us as a dumping ground for content.

@booteille@framapiaf.org @nicol@social.coop I have TubeFree.org where I post my own interviews for Fireside Fedi and it's open to others.
