 The most depressing thing in all that Google-is-evil-but-there-is-no-other-choice narrative is that there *is* another choice. Until we vote by our feet, it’ll continue scrutinizing us. We lived without instant videos, I do recall those times, they were fun. It’s a lie our whatever would become worse without another 50-mins-waste-of-time from some weirdo expert speaking about stuff they barely have any clue about. Go buy tickets to the life concert of your favorite band instead. 6 comments
@selzero technically the Internet can :) Practically, it will require an order of magnitude power increase from all the hosting providers.  But you are ignoring the case that one of the biggest monopolies in technology has been actively and unfairly pushing YouTube as the defacto internet streaming platform. Now a whole lot of Internet content is disabled because of my computer set up I can personally "move" that is easy. All of the web sites I read have to move too 😔 @selzero I am not ignoring it. I decided for myself that I do not want to watch it if the producer hosts it on G servers. It is like quitting smoking, it hurts for several days only. So if you are reading, say, a medium post where a number of the points are elaborated in little videos on the post, we don't read that post either? @selzero if I can stay in the context skipping videos, I keep reading. If not, well, I don’t. |

I just want the Internet to be able to freely stream video 😔
