Anything other than web pages is not allowed. They specifically mention audio/video because it's an exception they don't allow which people might assume is permitted within web pages. > They want $5/mo to store and stream video? Fair. No, it's metered. There is no fixed cost.

There are plenty of services with unmetered bandwidth where you know what you're going to be paying for a given amount of bandwidth rate to be available instead of having unbounded costs. Do you see the relevance when talking about a group that does DDoS attacks, etc. ?

You can pay for server instances with unmetered bandwidth where you can host video from a standard web server. They don't differentiate between different use cases. If you use managed DNS with load balancing / region steering (can self-host but it's non-trivial) that's 95% of it.

Cloudflare's load balancing / steering service is an expensive metered service. It's extremely expensive with lots of traffic. There are perfectly good unmetered managed DNS services with those load balancing / steering features and decent anycast networks deployed. I linked one.
