The 5 gig size limit is also pretty low these days honestly. My phone can record much bigger files. Yes I know how to compress, but does my mom? No. Since the full file size is temporary, I think holding onto bigger files for a little bit should be fine?

Yeaaaaah but the file size does not just affect one server but 2 (embed upload and then the community encoder node). I will discuss that with the team and will get back at you here :) Thanks for the suggestion!
NP! I think with the temporary notion of things it should be fine? Generating files over 5G is pretty easy these days, from my phone I can generate that with literally 5 minutes of a recording. The videos that my friends record are usually as high quality as possible and I've regularly seen 2-3 min videos that are 1-2G big, so when they want to share larger ones, they'll get hit by the limit pretty quickly and that will get offputting.
I will have a debate with myself over this, hopefully win the debate, and lose it at the same time. I take your point, I get your point... but, you would be surprised how uncommon anything bigger than 5 was. maybe once a month.
