i'm sure there's a logical explanation but everyone just says "ADSENSE YO"
probably.
Alphabet might literally just be a mandate of the accounting department.
so they can keep their losers segregated and understood
but that's wallstreetbets talk
ohhh
interesting
im js itd be hard to start a youtube alternative from nothing
if u expect it to grow
nah you could
bandwidth has gotten cheaper and you could put some limits in to save b/w
for example you could mandate that people use your encoder and do h265/vp10 encoding on THEIR machines using your client and save a ton on compute alone
spread your vids across low cost providers and make a rough and tumble cdn of sorts
the labor is the worst part but you could make that more streamlined
mods i mean
now, would you actually do it? probably not
and yes i'm mentioning encoding formats that don't work in current browsers cause if you do it today you're gonna aim for 2+ years in the future
and the bandwidth savings alone would get you a little bit ahead, which is kinda cheating and being the more agile guy
the reason that new sites don't pop up like mushrooms is more because when shit becomes a utility like yt is, the work vs reward becomes so small that nobody cares anymore. but look at little things like openings.moe for an example of what a targeted application of a similar use case would be, a simple illustration of an analogue to the relationship between a smaller entity solving a smaller problem that the larger utility just isn't designed to
what reason a shitty company like VEVO can't do the same? lack of imagination
there are a ton of chink video sites though
what does the 'look at little things like openings' part mean ?
http://openings.moe
^ one guy made that, the files are tiny
on the other hand vevo hosts their shit on youtube... for various reasons
youtube is like geocities in its heyday
thats dope
the future of video sites is going to be a lot of targeted video
that's just the way all shit works
oh yeah for sure... im sure they already do some of that
there's no incentive in being first to build the most awesome utility
otoh it's pretty dumb to build your foundation on someone else's shit
targeted like niche sites or targeted like adsense ?
niche
we're gonna laugh at vevo on youtube and companies on twitter in 20 years the way we can laugh at how big companies used to hold their presence on AOL or some ISP site
otoh if governments keep getting in the way of technology that might not happen
but that's just my libertarian showing
This was pretty interesting to warch
wut
openings.moe ?
