The problem is that on the modern internet, there are no public squares for hosting long-form video content. YouTube has a monopoly on the one big, private square. Something pretty much all YouTube content creators have been complaining about for years.
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoThat's not a problem. Television stations were never under a governmental order to publish the words of every freakshow with an opinion. Neither were the radio stations, telegraphs, or the newspapers. You don't have a right to be heard. You don't have a right to a platform. You have the right to speech. How you go about distributing your speech is entirely on you.
- theamk 5y agoPretty close to real life then? Before computers, I could maybe broadcast in real-life to a few hundred people by talking directly in public square. And it would be fully up to me to convince people to show up somehow. And there would be no archive afterwards, unless I take care of this myself. "Public square for hosting" was never a thing. I don't see why you expect this to suddenly appear.
- shagie 5y ago> The problem is that on the modern internet, there are no public squares for hosting long-form video content Was there ever a public square on the internet to host long form video content?
- dghlsakjg 5y agoIt’s really not that hard to host your own content on a server. The internet itself is a public square.
