As you know, web instances don't display video. Perhaps there is information on when full video support is planned?

Obviously small text messages takes less storage, but as they are more abundant, they can take up more bandwidth (the protocol takes its fair share for everything). And storage maybe (edit: as they are sent around more often)?

We all know that (sort of) texts < jpg < gif < mp3 ...

But one part is storage, a totally other part is bandwidth. Two very different beasts.

I think we can try out video, if it isn't "stupid videos" ("fun" or for angering). Let meta and reddit handle those ones.
