       @elementary Medium sucks, but web 2.0/3.0 (aka webshit) blogs are just as bad. Really, it's not hard to simply write what you want, wrap some HTML tags around it (made simpler with HTML5) and publish it on your site. Why use nonsense-powered buzzword fodder?

       @se7en @elementary not to mention using a CMS of any kind is a security issue

       I wish people said the same thing about videos. Everything has to be on some kind of platform these days.

       It really depends on the video length and changes per frame, but you can generally have 720p videos below 50 MB e.g 3 minute music videos are sometimes just 20 MB. To contrast a single document file as a .pdf or .html should be around the kilobytes. But people illicitly host entire anime OVAs on their own via torrent (which can still be playstreamed like YouTube just not in a browser). Technically the video quality is even better, supports multiple audio streams, and subtitle tracks, there's no transcode for web players (which are extremely limited compared to real video players), and there's no split swarms and workarounds from the fact web browsers don't support udp either.
