so its free for creators, which means they have no reason not to use it, assuming we keep login credentials safe. which means how to save that info locally, or make them login to all the sites every time (not exactly a user friendly way to do things)

2018-05-24 15:26:42 UTC  

well, most social media sites have API's to connect to other things,

like all those "share this video" buttons

2018-05-24 15:27:00 UTC  

right, i'm more concerned about the upload api

2018-05-24 15:27:12 UTC  

youtube has one, its easy to find. let me look for bitchute

might work better if i knew anime

2018-05-24 15:28:05 UTC  

seems like bitchute doesn't have an official api yet

2018-05-24 15:29:15 UTC  

not surprising, usually APIs start out as communities reverse engineering things, sometimes with support from the companies until its large enough that the leg work is done, then the company just maintains it from there

2018-05-24 15:29:18 UTC  

not uncommon

2018-05-24 15:29:22 UTC  

@Deadpool Good to see you're getting around.

and yes, any company will easily accept a program made for them, they wont have to pay a programmer to make it, just one to check over the code to make sure its safe, and then maintain it

2018-05-24 15:31:07 UTC  

now the next danger comes from websites not wanting the tool compatible. mainly looking at youtube seeing the tool as a threat and trying to change their API and make the upload pieces private, or harder to deal with.

2018-05-24 15:31:27 UTC  

when the tool is new, this is a problem that could torpedo it.

2018-05-24 15:31:34 UTC  

true

2018-05-24 15:31:36 UTC  

what use is a tool that can't upload to the biggest game in town still

2018-05-24 15:31:42 UTC  

they wont want to help competition 😛

2018-05-24 15:32:13 UTC  

now, once it gets going, the reverse will be true. because if the tool makes life easy enough for content creators, then anything not on it, they just won't upload

2018-05-24 15:32:43 UTC  

"why spend time uploading to youtube when i could upload to 3 other video share sits without any more effort,a nd probably get the same amouint of views"

2018-05-24 15:33:18 UTC  

so if most creators use the tool, any new or existing site will want to make themselves compatible so they can get in on the action.

2018-05-24 15:33:37 UTC  

but, you need to get it to that level of popularity.

2018-05-24 15:33:44 UTC  

well if it gets going, it will shrink the monopoly, since people can then use any site they prefer,

Which will then create competition because different sites will then have exclusives on their site, so people get to spread out again

2018-05-24 15:34:50 UTC  

true, but they wouldn't want to cut themselves off from a popular way of getting content. instead they will probably strike deals with creators. and thats fine

2018-05-24 15:35:04 UTC  

you guys are missing a lot of points on that idea

2018-05-24 15:35:18 UTC  

by all means, poke holes

2018-05-24 15:35:18 UTC  

videos without the community aren't worth much

2018-05-24 15:35:32 UTC  

how would you handle the comments, likes, etc?

2018-05-24 15:35:52 UTC  

its an upload tool, the videos will stay on the site

2018-05-24 15:35:52 UTC  

in theory, can add that into the tool

2018-05-24 15:35:58 UTC  

or that

2018-05-24 15:36:01 UTC  

if there's a content ID on one site, would you remove the video from everywhere and reupload?

2018-05-24 15:36:22 UTC  

what do you mean by that?

2018-05-24 15:36:48 UTC  

I mean, your video gets claimed on youtube

2018-05-24 15:36:52 UTC  

also, the comments would probably stay local to the video (i.e. on the host site) but can be made visible from one location for the content maker

2018-05-24 15:36:57 UTC  

would you change the video and reupload only to youtube?

2018-05-24 15:37:23 UTC  

well, you should always allowed customization.

2018-05-24 15:37:48 UTC  

so, say maybe you have several sites, but the video you made doesn't work with ToS of a few of them.
