OP was taking about Tumblr, but I think it applies even more to the Fediverse: users need to develop an ethos of paying to support the sites they use. Otherwise advertisers pay the bills and call the shots.

    Expensive for now. How long until computer hardware and compression algorithms progress to the point where sharing videos is as cheap as sharing images is now?

      That would be the case already, if we were all still watching stuff in 480p. As tech improves, so do the demands.

        Our eyes can only see so much. I’d argue that most people can barely tell the difference between 1080p and anything past it.

      Probably no time soon.
