Here’s what I’d do:
- creator’s media hosted on personal DWN
- posting video has note and link to media
- likes are sats
- reshares download to the resharers dwn and posts to their followers
Popular videos pay creators, reshares help seed and spread videos
Ecosystem self selects with follows, no universe tab.
Like payments share small portion with resharer? Maybe makes the incentives wonky
Original note link could be in such a way that points to amalgamation of reshare dwns a la bittorrent
Hmm. I like the DWN resharing P2P aspect of this. People have asked me about locally hosting images and videos instead of using one of the services out there to upload serve content from and I've always said that we don't have the bandwidth to handle viral content at home. However, if reshares of the content also allow that person to become part of the data distribution network for the content, then that helps to solve that issue. I like it.
