How would it benefit the server: could see what the story is and see if they cropped them self breaking rules or starting something deny people who crop there videos or give them 24 hours to change it
Still, I literally get under 1 mbps of upload speed, 30 seconds of footage takes me 4-5 minutes to upload.
I don't like this rule as it forces people to show footage they shouldn't have to show. If you're breaking rules, you're going to get an f1 against you anyways. It's not fair to people that don't want to waste their time uploading footage that doesn't need to be uploaded, and also sometimes not even compatible. I use plays.tv, and the max I use is 1 minute. Why? Because it shows the back story to the events that took place, without taking too long to upload. Not 10 minutes.
