go to amazon
and put 1 petabyte
don't pay retail at that rate
then add the costs for Cloudflare (which you will need)
negotiate a contract
1 peta is maybe a bit much
no?
4chan has more bandwidth usage per month than that
and they don't do video
will be under 2c / Gb
even if you are an incompetent negotiator
1 peta is nothing
that's 20000$ for 1 peta, per month alone
sure
and that is cheap
because of those prices I have decided to simply store everything myself, using a NAS and a backup located somewhere else
without costs for the servers, storage or loadbalancing
if you can't make 100k a month at that scale
then your business model is broken
out of what? ads?
that's up to you - this is your idea
I was the one that first stated that it was unprofitable
than say why/how
no free consulting
than why even start the discussion?
but if you don't have a model in the black at that scale,
then you don't have a good idea
??? Buddy you both agree
also
you should be able to figure out how to seed
it's not that hard
Facebook didn't make money for years, and I wouldn't consider it a bad idea 😏
facebook lost what.... 600 million
before turning a profit
yup
facebook was an investment in identity
but look at what facebook has become and the impact it currently has on society
facebook was strategic infrastructure
there is no investment to be made into a streaming site to compete with google
look at what facebook will become
at least not right now
not only streaming is too expensive, the public doesn't care enough about free speech for it to be a selling point
if you can't make the idea work, then you aren't the person who will make it happen
welcome to capitalism
( but it isn't because the costs are too high )
