My thoughts exactly! Definitely needs to be looked into, perhaps there are more reasons as to why this is so

Why are the datacenters all located in Virginia? Find that to be quite interesting

This ought to be a book 🔥

I certainly don’t mind sharing the insights I do have ☺️

I couldn't agree more! Thank you for reading

Thank you very much for sharing my article. I truly appreciate it! :-)

Now i am super intrigued to read the book! Thank you for this excellent review

Super awesome site and i am glad you ripped the bandaid off, even if it was out of necessity. Building the world we want to see is the way

Got it! Makes absolute sense to me. Just had a brief look around of the platform and it does have great potential especially if more creators come on board. Congratulations on all the work you have put in thus far, i can imagine it wasn't a cake walk getting this far

Thank you for that and will mosdef check it out! Does this mean that Nostr is an integral piece for scaling this platform? Without which, it won't scale?

Sounds interesting, what is the name of your platform? Would love to check it out and is there any fee for the viewing audience when they want to watch some of the content you have on your platform?

That's a tough one, but i think there are two ways of doing this that i can think of at the moment. The first is a hybrid model like Youtube has where ads for free viewing and ad free viewing for premium subscriptions (with the option of paying per video you stream). The alternative would be a purely subscription based model, with different tiers for different number of hours viewed and automatically allocate sats for creators and platform once their content is viewed. indeehub is operating on this model currently, though they aren't yet what you can call a fully LN video streaming platform atm and their focus is on cinematic content, but the general idea remains the same.

Perhaps they don't want advertisers to hold sway over a platform as they will likely come with their own demands ie we don't want our ads to be put on anti-vax videos as an example, but i guess it's a matter of finding the right advertisers.

i think decentralized tech is generally hard to do and also quite expensive because it's mostly a labour of love before the tech really takes off. Bitcoin is an example of how long it took to get decentralized money right, after decades of failed experiments. When it comes to video streaming the costs of running such a platform (let alone its devt) are high and unsustainable via a v4v model or donations. Having said that, i think as a start it would make sense to get platforms like Odysee, Rumble and Bitchute to adopt lightning or to build tools that make it easy for them to enabling streaming sats. In my head that's low hanging fruit that can be taken advantage of. Probably can happen within the next 18-24 months. I could be wrong but that's my 2 sats

Think about it! :-) It will be amazing

The MSM committed sepuku right in front of us, anyone watching that objectively could clearly see it was a 3 on 1 situation, however that didn't work out as planned

Totally enjoyed it and would love to see a video of it sometime soon!

Thank you for the plug!
