If successful, the monopoly Netflix and Hollywood has on entertainment could be decentralized
It could work. Critique-wise, I would, if I were a content creator, be worried about the fees and removal of low-view videos. Some videos that might not be so popular can be good. Also, people are not going to want to pay, even a penny, to watch videos. It's not just about the cost of the penny, it's about the hassle of making an account, the trust issues of giving you their credit card (and you'll also need a payment processor for that, which is a potential source of deplatforming). Many/most people will not take the time to go to that trouble when they can go to YouTube for free. Your storage provider can also deplatform you. You'll find yourself relying on an already-established large cloud company, like Google or Amazon, to store your videos. Even if you use a less-known company, still, there's that risk. And that will also discourage content creator participation - who wants to pay fees to host their content, when there's a very real risk of the site being deplatformed and all their money just going down the drain?
All in all, if you think you can do it, you should try. But that's where I forsee potential problems.
I got a ping?
@sigruna14 I’ll assume that less people will pay even the penny for content, and take the risk that enough would do it so that creators the website. To increase creators willingness to use the website exclusively, perhaps there should be no fee for posting content, and the minimal views for video to remain be very low. Creators would only need 1/10th of the views to receive the sam amount of revenue they would from YouTube, and that’s provided that their content is monitized, which it probably isn’t. The risk of deplatforming is the greatest. Reliance on 3rd party Payment processors, web providers, and storage providers is the vulnerability. The question would be how to decrease the reliance on those elements, which brings us back to the “build your own bank” conundrum. Thanks for the feedback. Much to ponder.
You can buy your own servers, but it'll probably require a loan to get a considerable amount of space (as well as the hosting costs once your ISP finds out your serving content). Using Amazon servers or something like that is trying to find "safe" entry into a pretty risky business. I am not of the opinion that method is particularly successful.
Can anybody explain what exactly the kid who stared at the indian did wrong?
Just realized something. But don’t take this as 100% fact because I could be wrong. My mom plays a lot of Native American music at her shop (she sells crystals and stuff), and the one song they were playing at that catholic pro life rally sounded EERILY similar to a Cherokee war song my mom plays in her shop.
So that kinda adds flame to that fire lol
And the fact they began saying “white man go back to Europe!” Makes me feel like that’s the case
@Sonic again, thank your wife for the super cool hat. Vincent loves it!
AW
That’s some knitting/crocheting skill right there!
What would the great Andrew Jackson say about these Indians harassing American kids 🤔
Not gonna make a spicy joke about them still crying after the Trail of Tears, despite the temptation
It’s pretty telling to be honest. The corporate media and many democratic senators literally were hunting down teenagers because they are essentially attended a pro life rally while white
There will be no compromise with these people
C.S. Lewis has a good quote about the victim narrative that’s been taking place and the resulting social tyranny.

@Felden - CO I will- looks great!
We should take notes from those MAGA kids, our next activism should be just standing around doing nothing
White kid: *smiles after a random guy banging a drum approaches him*
Woke Twitter:
Brown commies are too sensitive or white people are really powerful. Just standing around causes tears
It's sickening just how many people I've seen online that said they want to beat up this high schooler for daring to just smile at some weirdo banging a drum at him.
I just can’t wait for these incidents to be used to wildly inflate hate crime stats so they can be used as a reflection of evil Drumpf’s America
Heck, these falsely inflated hate crime stats won’t be used as a reflection of just evil fascist dictator Drumpf, they’ll be used as a reflection of white people as a whole
They hate us so much they are willing to insult and injure a kid if he dares to even *appear* to disagree with them.
We certainly live in such a "civilized society"
White man, how does it feel to have your entire life forever ruined, forced to prostrate yourself on the altar of diversity for your original sin, for the crime of disagreeing in the country your people built?
Walt is the big mad.
I swear if anyone I know believes this kid and classmates taunted this Indian....
How clueless can you be at this point knowing full well the hoaxes that happen
At least we have a group to express that to, though, @Walt. Without an outlet, bottled up anger will cause some serious harm. That’s why I’m so happy to be here in this group.
HAAAA
In other news the priest at the new church I went to named them so that was fun
