Your inability to see the Internet as a distributed resource is astounding considering it’s purpose. I will repeat what I said before there is no reason social media can’t be done without the corporations controlling everything.
You can easily host your own videos, if everyone did and we used advanced sharing protocols the load can be distributed. The more people watching the more bandwidth.
You have become brainwashed into believing only YouTube can exist. You have bought into it so bad you think someone who wants your rights and privacy protected is a free loader.
We can do at all without them. There is something wrong and perverse about a single entity controlling that much of our culture. Too big to fail you say, I say too big to care about what really matters.
Okay, let’s go with your idea that everybody has the knowledge and hardware retired to self-host.
What happens when Grandma’s cute video she uploaded goes viral and 11 million people try to watch it in a 24hr period? Would we rather it simply didn’t work, or does grandma get an unexpected $7,000 bill?
I setup a Plex server to stream media to my mobile phone anywhere in the world. It took me ten minutes of mostly pointing and clicking to setup. Please tell me how hard Internets are…
There is so much wrong with how you think. First of all why does Grandma want 11 million views!? I mean really do you even listen to yourself.
The answer to your question would be a protocol like BitTorrent. The more people who watch a clip the more distributed bandwidth would be available.
We have already passed the tipping point where creators are now paying more for their media to be consumed than they are getting paid. Where do you think this is heading? Do you want a future of YouTube enshitification!?
That’s good to hear. Go ahead and tell him that I need 2500 board-feet for my house, that it needs to be free, and I need it by tomorrow. Also, there’s another 1.5 million houses being built right now he needs to support, so he may want to ask a few neighbors to help out.
Or would that require a commercial-scale operation involving millions of acres of maintained forests, logging operations, mills, and distribution that costs billions of dollars and employs thousands of people?
Man you have a hard on for corporations. It’s like you believe life can only exist if it sucks corporate cock. At the beginning of last century 90% of Americans were self-employed. What you say about everyone working together to produce lumber is not even far fetched. It actually happened.
Technology has been heading towards micronization for awhile now. 3d printing of not only houses but also drugs. We have the technology already to move away from the too big to fail strategy life has become. Small design labs producing the products people need without the enormous waste and pollution.
Your large scale production mindset is not sustainable nor is it the future.

You have a plex server. Okay.
I have a couple circular saws. That doesn’t make my garage a replacement for a lumber mill.
I live in Alaska and have a friend with a mill that’s just a few circular saws and a chainsaw. He makes great rough cut lumber.
You really need to start thinking for yourself and stop believing all the garbage you have been fed.

I’m 1900, life expectancy was 47, children worked instead of going to school, and the global literacy rate was 20%.
We should definitely go back to that.
What moved us from picking berries and killing animals with pointy sticks is specialization of labor.
That did not address or refute any of my points. Have a good day sir.
