>It might be worth pointing out a site owner could have the assets such as the jpgs and gifs placed in a neocites or web archive server, and host the assets on the actual site where the html files are stored.
Unfortunately hotlinking images isn't going to impact the cost of your bandwidth, especially on niche websites like mine. This is why personal HTML/CSS websites can be dirt cheap on shared hosting. Bandwidth and disk storage aren't the issues driving cost, it's memory and CPU. The VPS peertube runs on is $35/mo, which is pretty much standard pricing for the specs I need.
I think I pay $6/mo for dukenuken.net's sever, which I already paid upfront for 3 years so I can't migrate that for now kek (oops).
I could put Dukenukemis.cool and Braphogs (I dont think tubgurl's software would do well) on that cheap server, but it doesn't free up an existing server since they're currently on my Peertube server ;_; So I might as well get better performance using that beefier server.
If this is confusing:
$35[Peertube, dukenukemis.cool, braphogs]+$16[tubgurl($10), dukenukem.net($6)]*12=$612 of cost, or $51/mo. I keep Tubgurl and Peertube on different servers in case one goes down, the other is up.
The one thing I am certainly overpaying for is domain registration through Njalla. I've been looking into a few other privacy conscious registrars that offer significant
