Storage for video is absolutely going to be an issue long-term, but it seems like if any of these instances experience any real popularity they're going to have a massive spike in bandwidth and CPU usage, which is substantially more expensive when you're renting server space.
Have any Peertube instances had to deal with millions of simultaneous viewers yet?
In theory the big "selling point" of Peertube is that it allows offloading bandwidth to people watching the video via a p2p process not unlike torrents. Also the main CPU load is from converting videos to different resolutions and this can be offloaded to a GPU if the server has one.
