They don’t. There is no scheme. Nobody gets fired because they’re a DEI. People get fired because of blatant racism.

You also could make it the default search engine in the settings menu. Also works on desktop.

Now he completely lost his mind…

Streaming one video for several minutes, and skipping between numerous videos every couple of seconds, is orders of magnitude more expensive. Video compression works on the idea that you store entire pictures rarely, and then just encode the difference between each frame. When you constantly need the start of videos, you constantly need the full picture of the first frame. This induces a much higher bandwidth requirement than with video that streams for several minutes continuously. Also consider the response time that is required to make the TikTok experience work.

Yeah, it would probably have to load the next 5-10 Videos in advance, and probably even continue sharing the last 5-10 to make the torrenting work properly. And the bandwidth use would be even higher this way… It would be possible to use even more advanced compression algorithms than TikTok, but that would require more performance on the clients end, and therefore lock out a lot of old and cheap devices.

I’ve gone of the google play charts.

I mean independent sponsorships still exist, and for most creators, that’s the biggest source of income anyway.

That’s exactly what I’m worried about.

A peertube approach would be a great way of saving bandwidth

Nobody pays for that much bandwidth without the ability to manipulate you through profiling and impressions. You are the product. The product is not sharing videos. There is no fediverse platform that makes you its whore. If you were to make a video sharing platform, it would never work, because that is not the product, it’s only a feature of what makes up the dopamine machine.

I mean, video streaming platforms already exist as part of the fediverse (Peertube) so i would disagree on you with you on that one.
