  • I’m not talking about “now”; I’m talking about the future. Enshittification is inevitable in proprietary software.

    Free-software licenses provide risk mitigation against different legal threats or behaviors that are seen as potentially harmful by developers:

    Frequently used protective and permissive licenses AGPLv3 GPLv3 GPLv2 LGPLv3 LGPLv2.1 MPLv2 Apache-2.0 BSD
    SaaS/cloud Yes No No No No No No No
    Tivoization Yes Yes No Yes No No No No
    Patent trolling Yes Yes No Yes No Yes Yes No
    Proprietization Yes Yes Yes Partial Partial Partial No No
    Granularity Project Project Project Library Library File - -

  • I guess too much because think like you have 1000 videos each video is ~500 mb (also you’ll need to store 144p, 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p versions) let’s say 1 GB storage for each video, total storage need: 1TB just for one channel it’s ok but there would be like 10k channel at least

    1 TB * 10000 = 20 TB * 500 = 500 hard disk with 20 TB

    let’s say each one is $350 total $175,000 (and this is hard disk I thing you’re not going to use hard disks)

    (and this is just storage I don’t know about traffic costs)
