I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

@fubo yeah that's true but why not improve things. making it more convenient is better IMO and we have the technologies to do it.

If someone is providing convenience as a service, they get to collect a share of revenue from it, and they get to decide whether you get to use their service at all โ€” an opportunity for censorship.

If I were in the video business (which I'm not; so I am ignorant!) I would look to distribute video via a service similar to a streaming/dynamic version of BitTorrent; and find a way to automate placement of video ads into the stream. Major tech companies shouldn't need to be involved at all; nothing about this should need large server or network capacity โ€” for the same reason that torrent servers don't.

@fubo thats where i think crypto is great such as how LBRY does it. you can earn money and no one has the power to demonetize you.

If it becomes popular, what prevents the goat porn people from spamming it and making good content undiscoverable?
