I use outdated technology just for fun, listen to crappy music, and watch a lot of horror movies. Expect posts about These Things. I talk a lot.

Check tags like Star Trek Archive and Media Piracy to find things I share for others.



like. Do it like Telegram does it, where there's no server-side re-encoding and it's just a file size limit. I feel like that must cost less overall to implement, you remove the compute power cost and then it's just bandwidth.

Hell make it pay-per-upload or something. If I have to pay $2 to upload a video with a maximum size of 200mb I'll do it. I will do it, I say.

It would also make uploading videos much more purposeful and intentful, and therefore each video you encounter more special and hopefully creative and thought out.

also not re-encodind would allow me to upload actually decent quality stuff recorded at 480i60 because every other website on the planet compresses that stuff to hell and I think when the bitrate is actually decent 480 can look really nice
