Loops isn't much more expensive than other projects to run.

Object storage is cheap, and we do two stage video optimization, with the first stage being on the webUI or mobile app.

$200/month for a server Loops.video sized with a premium intel cpu, that's 34k users with 5k MAU and 1K+ DAU.

You could do it for a fraction of that price, but performance may suffer.

AND that includes 1 year of content, 28k+ videos and more.

Loops - Our Mission.

Reclaiming short-video sharing for humanity. Loops was founded on a simple but powerful idea: social media should serve people, not exploit them.

@dansup Interesting stats. Longer term, what do you think of #PeerTube's model: as I grasp it they offer both web direct download but also "P2P (using WebRTC) to exchange parts of the video with other users watching the same video to save server bandwidth."
