Given the number of porn video websites now, I don’t think the cost of video hosting is the major issue.
The bigger issue is likely having to moderate the site. Twitch focused on live streaming as a way to reduce exposure to copyrighted content and TikTok kept videos short enough that it could skate around fair use by not being able to air longer form copyrighted content.
