lots of desperate people to keep unskilled labor costs down

America needs more unions sooo badly

I feel like I could learn Dutch, my English is already broken

There’s nothing inherently wrong with doing quality assurance work, but I think the workers are being fooled into thinking it’s less valuable work than their old job. In fact, based on QA in other industries, I’d say these workers should be getting paid more. This is why unions are important, otherwise people just get fooled or bullied into accepting bad deals

Well there’s this list https://www.advocate.com/politicians/2018/5/24/18-homophobic-leaders-who-turned-out-be-gay-or-bi

Yeah which I didn’t like as well tbh

They have a point about server costs and maintenance, which is why I suggested community garden type server farms.

I also didn’t need to call people idiots, but we’re all humans sigh

For that reason I think the main problem here is that we are trying to centralize video sharing onto one platform. I instead propose we encourage people to make their own platforms. Like if you want to watch idk PewDiePie you go to PewDiePie.com and encourage people to explore the Internet instead of just sitting on one site.

Basically old web but with aggregators, I don’t hate it. I think there needs to be a way to alleviate burden from content creators in a way. Tbh, maybe we need community server farms which are jointly supported, like community gardens in a way

I think a regimen of heavy drinking and exercising to stay relatively fit can take that kind of a toll on a person

It’s unreasonable to group same-sex relationships with incest. Incest creates psychological power imbalance and damage even between siblings, so thats not a healthy relationship mode to encourage. The main reason why people care so much about each others relationships is because of the community strife and conflict they can possibly create. It’s absolutely bonkers to include homosexuality in this ban.

Do you work in devops?

Cool, so I don’t understand why it has to be fully free. I think people should be comfortable taking control of their technologies otherwise they should be okay with getting what they get from the service providers

lol assuming way too much about me, feel free think what you want 😂

Perhaps not intentionally, super annoying the way they phrased the title though. I guess it makes sense why news media says things like “allegedly” or “possibly”

What you’re saying is valid in a model where the server hosts content and provides it on demand, and that’s not what I was describing.

Here’s the model I had in my head, but I am not sure if anyone has attempted this yet:

1…user uploads a video which borrows resources from p2p network

2…the shared burden is shifted around as nodes become active or inactive

3…content is always available in asynchronous, on demand fashion

I don’t work in distributed and networked systems, so I don’t expect the above model to strictly be based in reality, but it’s not that fanciful based on the wiki article I shared

I guess it’s a fair point that users maybe don’t want to be responsible for the burden. In which case, I guess why complain about ads then 🤷‍♀️

Are you mad about something else? It’s okay, use your words

Hmm not being optimistic, just going based on past experience. Look at where you’re posting right now, did anyone think the fediverse could be a possibility when we have twitter, fb or reddit? There’s nothing out of the norm about what I am saying anyways, people do stuff like this for sport or based on ideology. That’s why anyone should support a foss project they use or admire, or pay artists, writers, niche magazines etc

All of the above costs money. A lot of money. So much money that only a shitty mega corporation with no moral scruples would ever be able to afford to run the platform, let alone turn a profit. And so here we are.

Or that’s what we’re led to believe. Someone could say the same for an OS, but we have many open source alternatives. We need an open source alternative to YouTube, and perhaps with some innovation that may be possible. You don’t need storage, for example, if content is just streamed in a p2p manner, even with a time delay so people can watch something whenever

Edit: some context https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2PTV

For the idiots downvoting explain why, or I’ll just believe you’re YouTube shills

You’re downvoted but there are travel bidets

Into space, till it comes back down as a turd meteor ☄️

I want to laugh so hard, but I also feel bad for their digestive tracts, ouch lol
