RE: YouTube -vs- Blockchain Video Platforms.

in #youtube4 years ago (edited)

Yea, I like 3speak much better than other video platforms in crypto space. One time I uploaded a large documentary without any problems. It took a few hours, but it was high resolution 45 to 60 minute video. Never had a problem with playback and all. I think they still have some part of their service centralised using ipfs for storing of the videos itself (guess the content is distributed but access to it is centralised). They plan to change this to distribute content storage AND access to all participants running the 3speak application, therefore these users will become part of distributing the content to others, kinda like bittorrent, or maybe exactly like bittorrent. Those who distribute content to others, will earn tokens.

The idea behind this is that when access to content is distributed, no authority is able to shut it down. That said, there are always methods to shut things down, if not by technology, by fines and all, but I guess the 3speak owners dont believe in authority :)

Interestingly, the people behind 3speak are so against Justin Sun and TRON, but Justin saw the light already long time ago. He bought some service based on bittorrent a long time ago, probably for that reason!
