It's like a RAID cluster, but over many computers across the internet

you could simply make the creator use their own server

>simply

There's nothing simple about that on the front end

sure

thats why you have programmers

Look, you've got a guy that wants to just make videos. He doesn't have time to host things, or have a server that's constantly online, or set up an Amazon web server.

he can just rent a server

that server can set up something that complies with the platform's protocol for interfacing with the platform

Or, he can just upload to the website like normal.

*But the website is what is different.*

both parties meet each other halfway through cooperation

I agree

Most people can't handle YouTube as it is, the stress and having online presence

or again, the creator could just pay the platform for server space

most people arent youtube creators

if all they have to do is pay a monthly bill, they will be fine

Most people as in most youtubers lol*

yeah but they can pay a bill

or they could pay a cut of their ad revenue, which im sure they only get a tiny cut of in the first place on youtube

my main point is, youtube only doesnt make money because its free to watch and to upload to

and bitchute is only a shitty torrentbased site because they must have like no money

Here's my idea:

You've got a person who wants to watch videos
You've got a Web 4.0 social media host that keeps all your data for you, distributed among many servers that the company rents
You've got a video website
You've got a creator

The creator uploads a video pays for it to get hosted, and then the user watches the video. The user likes the video, and saves it to their host for seeding, which they pay for.

Now, the video is hosted from two seeds, the video site and the media host. The more popular it is, the more it's hosted, and eventually the creator no longer has to pay for hosting.

Uh, no.

Fuck you

users dont want to seed videos

Or pay to watch them. kek

especially when theyre the only party not making money on it

@Son of Rome You totally misunderstood what I said lmao

users will pay to watch videos, they already pay for netflix and hulu

^

The user is NOT PAYING TO WATCH VIDEOS

"The user likes the video, and saves it to their host for seeding, which THEY pay for."

if you don't know what web 4.0 is, just say something

well they should, fuggin deadbeats

They implying the user pays for it

*raises hand*

idk what web4.0 is

It's embedded social media, hosted privately.

Disqus is sort of like this in a rudimentary way

ah, thing nobody uses

So, you're not paying to watch videos. You're paying for a social media host, for all your comments, photos, videos, memes, whatever

You're just electing to use some of that space to host a video that you REALLY like
