@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz @dalias@hachyderm.io @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange He honest - most of the videos and podcasts on the internet could disappear and the world would be a better place. Imagine - no more "influencers", no more podcasters promoting hate. But most people won't boycott Facebook or Google because they're addicted. They're cheap. They know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. They won't even pay to lease space on a server for their own domain, their own email, but then they hitch and moan about how their "business" can't function when Google or Facebook cuts them off. You get what you pay for. I have almost 100 TB of storage, so I could host tons of content locally. But it's not worth it. Low quality content doesn't work except for the slop peddlers.

    @barbra@social.vivaldi.net @dalias@hachyderm.io @Em0nM4stodon@infosec.exchange to be honest is to acknowledge that that's a fallacy. I'm sorry. If someone doesn't log in for a few years, their stuff disappears, so it's much less prevalent than you'd imagine. We're also not going to just disappear the influencers; their existence isn't dictated by them existing, but others following them. 100TB of storage is nothing if you want to host a video site, but even besides that, you'd need bandwidth, and low latency sites in every region.
