I think a lot of the hate is because of the realities of the real world implementation of the protocols. The fact that AT Proto is mostly run through the main instance with only nominal federation through other relays. And the fact that AT Proto requires the full firehouse replicated to all relays.
I probably prefer most of AT Proto other than these two issues. Regardless I am on mastodon with it bridged over to bluesky
I mean they had video iPod shortly after the release of the original iPod so I think a video podcast still fits the definition of “iPod broadcast”
YouTube still offers them a service in directing them new viewers. The big creators all lose viewers but YouTube funnels replacement views faster than they lose. They could host their own videos but they are gonna see very little growth without Google either in search or with YouTube as they start to lose the base that followed them.
They also won’t be able to negotiate as good as rates for pre-rolls or in video sponsorships as if they were on YouTube.
The only real alternative would be to band together like the creators that are a part of nebula are doing. Hosting on peertube really isn’t an option unless you are independently supported and you are doing it as a passion project and don’t care about audience growth or retention.
Exactly the reason I left. I was so pleased when Apollo for Lemmy in the form of wefwef/voyager existed too
Well adamtots is his instagram handle
This is a much better looking style than Adam Ellis’s old buzzfeed art style but I don’t know if the joke lands any better.
That’s good to know. My understanding is admittedly out of date as I haven’t really kept up with ATProto as I get much more activity from the AP side of the house. I have been excited about projects like Blacksky and such acting as alternative relays.
