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

You can watch and never host

i like the first part, not the second

i have no incentive to seed other than to be charitable to a guy who is engaging in business

and why would i give a businessman charity

Maybe I want to see this guy make more videos?

especially when im already paying for the service

Same reason I share videos here

You're not paying for the video service though

The videos are free to watch

im paying for social media and the creator is profiting from that somehow

Nope

99.9 percent of torrenters are leeches

Unrelated services

I think youre reaching Mr. Panoptes

well the point is to be reaching, at least somewhat

we're trying to find solutions

The social media host is not a social media site. It's the same data to be used on many websites as you like, to be presented as you like, and you can revoke access whenever you like

Mornin lads

i dont think that would work at all though, im willing to pay, im not willing to seed
