I have to say that the crypto space is doomed and nobody cares about decentralization, but the technology behind it enables doing exactly this: 1 backend and many different clients. IMO this is the future - breaking monopolies with separation of powers a la John Locke

How is this related to crypto currencies in any way? Any web API can allow multiple clients so I'm a bit lost at why you're so excited about this.

People care about decentralization, they don't care about projects that are thinly veiled attempts at extracting money from them under the promise of decentralization

  I agree with the sentiment, but "people care about decentralization" is very debatable IMO. Most people don't care, they just want the content.

I think what you are trying to get into is decentralized technologies.

Hosting videos on the web is already "decentralized". You could start your own privacy preserving hosting service tomorrow if you want to. That still leaves the problem of how people can discover you service, yes, but how does crypto solve that?

Let's see: - Youtube Premium: 11.99€/month - Spotify: 10.99€/month - Netflix: 15.99€/month - DAZN: 29.99€/month Putting together a server to store and serve all this content for myself, my family and even some friends: 750€, on a generous configuration. Germany has this "TV tax" (I think the UK as well) which they charge you 18€/month supposedly to help with the production of the public broadcasting networks. I'd really wish we could turn this into a public fund where we can choose who gets to receive the contribution. It would basically destroy all middlemen in both the private and public sectors.
