So when decentralized streaming services 😅

Speak English Todd
Crowdfunding sites is the closest I’m aware of, at the moment. Something like AngelStudios is having a lot of success amongst a particular demographic, running their own app but openly funding different creators.
(I’d recommend TuttleTwins 😌👌)
I’ll look into Tuttletwins then
I was surprised to find it pretty enjoyable myself 🤷♂️😂 idk maybe that’s some bias or something. Definitely top picks for when kiddos are around
Oh and you can check it out for free on Youtube or the AngelStudios app, hence the crowdfunded/pay-it-forward/merch model
Technically the TCP/IP stack is already a decentralized streaming service. I can toss a file on my VPS and pretty quickly stream it to folks.
The problem with this is the data cost of one host serving all users.
We need a way to monetize peer hosting. Where I downloaded and watched the video, so now I have a copy to retransmit a few times. The centralized hosting model of most internet services and hosting platforms is the thing that fails here. That's economic, not technical.
— well that’s kinda the point of stuff like BTC and NOSTR, to reformulate the tech according to a better economic model 😌🤷♂️🤔

With them two enhancing the other I’m sure we gonna see better business models geared towards individuals
tbc it’s explicitly designed for kids but also to be enjoyable for parents/adults… very liberty-centric, surprisingly humorous and meaningfully concise.

That’s what I saw when I looked at their page rn 😅 it looked very family friendly only thing I wished was these platforms didn’t require emails
ah, ya. Well, you can make an anon/pseudo email. Not perfect.
Alternatively most of their episodes should still be up on youtube, should be able to view without an account
I think they’re off youtube now but I’d definitely recommend episodes 9&10.
Good news is you can watch it on the app without an account, for now at least. It’ll just say something like “this episode was paid for you by ____” and then start playing
