When should I drop registered users? (piefed.social)

I'm just wondering what other Peertube instance owners think about users who request accounts and then after several months, never produce anything?

I have a managed hosted instance which means I have a limit with my storage. I can only take on new users if I have enough storage to offer. For example I only have 5 users currently. I plan on taking on more as soon as I can find the $$$ but my problem is that after 2 months two of the users have yet to log in let alone make a video. So my question is, how long should I wait before I tell them that their accounts will be removed for lack of content? I'm not about paying for users who don't make anything.

So what do you think is a good time to wait? I'm thinking 3 months is more then long enough? What do you think? (Also I'll be adding this to my TOS so that people know when they register.)

You should just make it very clear that this instance is for people who make videos. Once that’s out of the way, you can set the wait period as low as you like. Maybe even just 1 month.
