It’s a matter of finding where the line between cost and user satisfaction meet.
Like sure you could limit all videos to 60fps @ 720p or 30fps @ 1080p but most everyone now wants everything 120fps @ 2160p which takes up dozens of gigs per video and eats up bandwidth.
I think a big part of that is just straight up storage space, more specially a lack thereof. Google won’t release specifics but estimates put the total data stored by YouTube at somewhere near an exabyte (1 million terrabytes). Most of which is made up by video files.
Of course that’s just issue number 1 of many to figure out.
Yea peertube is rough… Mostly in part due to, in my opinion at least, people wanting to make use of YouTube’s ad revenue system even tho most creators I watch making most of their income via donations rather than ad revenue.
I’m just glad that a lot of people i associate with can see the obvious double standard and call it out as bullshit.
And it’s fucking hilarious to me that a double standard has appeared.
“But he has autism so it’s ok.”… Meanwhile any other random person with autism who does something wrong (even tho they may not understand or even know what they’re doing) is dragged through mud and hit with “it’s not an excuse!”
That or the Casio Pro-Trek if you want something that’s not the G-Shock
