spez lied? no way, not spez, the same butthole who keeps lying about 3rd party developers, spitting in the face of mods, and destroying communities on reddit in the name of the almighty dollar. couldn’t be that guy 🙄

true, true, and true. i didn’t even think about admins. just as important D:

both good points

oh, of course, you’re absolutely right. it may take another rancid campaign from youtube parallel to reddit’s shenanigans that fill in the ux piece of it. or, who knows, maybe it would grow organically as people start to see their favorite sites and resources always come with a peephole and a coin slot 🙃

i think kresten has the right idea, i’ve heard good things about youtube-dl

cheers 🍻 💙

this, of course, is not inherently bad. but when does it end? when you literally strip away all but 1 cubic centimeter of joy and ease of use of your product just to squeeze out two monies?

idk, some of my fellow tech furries have ridiculously large homelabs and servers that have massive amounts of storage. i don’t think it’s impossible, but may require someone to come up with a way for us to decentralize video which, ofc, is humungo-bonzonga-jumbo

reddit and youtube really shouting out how much companies don’t give two farts about its users. there’s so much wholesome and educational content on youtube but, dogs forbid, youtube make $5 fewer in revenue than yesterday 🙄 i can’t wait for grassroots decentralization of the internet, including video

lmao so, in other words, the richest man alive fails to pay his rent. what a time we live in~

this is very interesting, ty 💙

agreed 💙 i have a few installs of fedora silverblue and it’s awesome

hopefully 💙 video codecs have gotten pretty good, and maybe they’ll get even better to where, like you’re saying, we don’t have to shovel so many resources into hosting something like a peertube. crossing fingers 🤞

hosting cost for peertube would probably be astronomical since you’re likely hosting the videos yourself :/ unless there is some sort of federation that kind of works like bittorrent. that would be awesome

never heard of nebula, thank you for bringing it up :D

hear, hear!

you’re definitely right on most points. but, to your point, if a creator was on a federated instance of peertube then they don’t have to worry about the wishy-washy, everchanging rules of youtube :3

oh look, another web service who wants to strangle its users for money and ad views :D when’s a peertube instance going to get some big creators on it supported by viewers? that’ll do it, i bet

good 💙
