Do note that I used the word 'succeed' as do most to mean financially rewarding. Insofar as that isn't what you intend, that statement is more or less false. I consider myself quite successful on Hive because I have no financial metric whatsoever. I do not use Hive tokens as money. I bend nails and crawl around under rotting houses for a living. I come to Hive to speak freely about political realities, mostly about free speech and sovereignty dependent on it. As a result I attain well some goals I have, the foremost of which is to be criticized when I am wrong so that I can stop being wrong.
Insofar as your goals aren't financial in nature, my comment regarding your success depending on an oligarchy controlling a plutocracy is irrelevant. Your stated goal I have read, above and at the link you shared with me earlier, of providing a tool for Hive users to livestream their content with, seems already to have succeeded, because AFAICT, Hivestreams.live is a good tool to do that with. I confess that I am a poor judge of such tools, however, because I do not produce video. I am very frustrated that I can only link to videos, and cannot share snippets of video because I do not have any account that enables me to post video to the front end Peakd, because Peakd doesn't enable embedding any video except Youtool - which I would prefer to never again use, because they are the creepiest of creepy stalkers and the most censorious of censors - or 3Speak, which is not often a source of the vast majority of video I would link, and I have no intention of learning such a complex mechanism to make money posting videos because I have no interest in making money from posting videos.
I would use video to provide evidence in support of my theses, but it would be video others produced and made available for that purpose. I used to be a computer enthusiast back in the 80s, but I am no longer desirous of such hobby. If I could post videos in support of my posts easily I would be willing to tolerate a very gentle learning curve, but at my age my health and burgeoning frailty is becoming an ever steeper and more onerous learning curve I am dependent on surmounting, leaving ever less of my attention available for career changes and new hobbies.
I can froth at the mouth just fine via text, and have managed to learn to post pics on Peakd with proper attribution. Adding video to that would be nice, if I could do the same as I do with pics, and post others' work with proper attribution. That doesn't sound like livestreaming to me, so Hivestreams.live appears to be made for a different demographic than me. That's as applicable as my criticism and feedback can be to your project, and you're quite welcome to it. I do sincerely wish you great success in the endeavor and by the metric you have stated. I too am here on Hive after seven years, and not for money, but the community I have found and that kindly pare away my misunderstanding, and remnants of hope their definitions of success may yet come to fruition.
Well thanks for the best wishes. It is difficult to find what you seek, and there are multiple vectors to why, among them utilizing other people's content exacerbated by the networks on which that content is stored and their gate keeping rules as well, followed by the difficulties in compatibilities such as you mentioned about not being able to embed various distributors media players into blog posts and on and on.
But you are correct, while indirectly some of that may occur ON a live stream, such as in a reaction video, it is in and of itself, not "live streaming" to play recorded content to viewers, without associated content alongside it.
The storage costs for all the video are also astronomical, which is why on the billionaire backed networks could do it long enough to attract corporate advertisers who in turn foot the bills now, for companies like YourTool and Twitchiness.
But for me? Give someone a visual motion video outlet for their podcast, talk show, original music, or music lessons or political rantings for their countries side taking sider takers to listen to and argue about, or whatever, is good enough, and a chat room (which will improve over its current fledging get-something-up-and-running version) is requisite beside that so the audience can interact with the show host(s)
I'll figure out how I can make a living from it, thats definitely not forgotten, I have to eat, and this is and will be a full time job around the clock for the rest of its existence so... Its not like I am some kind of minimalist socialist anti-money weirdo, I am just sort of anti-being-coerced by somebody ELSES money. Last time I checked, that was akin to fascism.
The Last Nail Bender huh, I'd watch that movie.
