mine is: youtube

i think we need to make some sort of system to make video sharing easier for servers without costing a fortune (that maybe impossible)

    YouTube is about the video library, not the software. Tons of music industry licenses, copyright and abuse takedown system, etc. It needs tons of people and money, not just software and servers. I’d call it a bad example even. We do need open frontier level AI models. Ok, maybe we need them like a hole in the head, but that’s still a need lol.

      YT operated at massive losses for years to build up hardware and capture the market, all while giving us the service for free. I have no idea how that could be replicated. Even if a generous multi-billionaire threw $20B at the project, how could it be sustained as it ever expands? A government could do it, but does anyone want a government run video platform? Yuck.

        Also it’s almost impossible to stop the positive feedback loop of more users more content that leaves every other service behind
