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

politics

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 ?

Just the conversarion

Conversation

more like a soliloquy

i drank too much coffee and am trying really hard to not get any work done today

that's what i get for brewing so much delicious iced coffee in mason jars

i liked it i never thought of any of that shit

fucking shit is like crack

also never realized vevo was visa and not part of youtube

Hit me with a coffee famalama

well the first stage is going to be a lot of "hosted video" and that's kinda already happening

i think HBO is hosted by MLBAM

the baseball people

but eventually everyone will try to do video as that stuff becomes demystified
