Ah yeh, you're probably right. Especially if people started uploading videos!
In the age of endless uploads everywhere, we all forgot that hosting large files for many people is not always easy!
I think of those early 00 stories in the time before we called content creators, content creators. Too many people visiting their self hosted videos was a bad thing that would end up costing more money than they made!
