For the start, it shouldn't spend more than 1TB per month. - And that's just an estimate if you plan on buying the traffic, otherwise it should be very low.

Illegal ones, however, are (kinda) more costy. Most illegal tubes allow their users to upload files that are, let's say up to 100MB. That automatically increases the space usage and the bandwidth usage as well.

Either way, it's costy. Legal tubes require you to have your content (it isn't free) and illegal ones require more space and more bandwidth. Unless you have a good starting budget, don't waste your time.
