Well, time to switch to watching Nebula?
I can't see how it will work for small-time creators though. Or for people who just want to show a video online.
I love nebula too. They're definitely what I imagine federated video would be though. Restricted uploads, and paid. Nothing wrong with that though, video is expensive.
Well, one question is how it'd be paid for. You can't really have a federated payment provider, can you?
So would you have to pay for each separate server somehow, gathering them up like streaming service subscriptions?
Someone smarter than me will need to figure that out. I'm a lowly software engineer, not a computer scientist.
Hey, doesn't mean you can't aspire to be a systems architect :D
You know, make enough decisions that weren't perfect in the long term and you'll learn something! ...totally not speaking from experience, no.
Not to sound like a crypto bro, but this is literally the biggest benefit of cryptocurrencies, easy transfer of money between people wallet to wallet, and you can choose your exchange to exchange the money between crypto and cash.
Unfortunately crypto bros absolutely ruined crypto for everything it could've been
Yeah, that's fair.
thats what I thought too - until I actually signed up for Nebula. It took me a week to exhaust every creator I wanted to watch.
No regrets because I do enjoy the content, but their catalogue is absolutely tiny compare to youtube.
Yeah, I was being a little tounge-in-cheek there.
