There are a good number of channels who have hundreds of thousands of subscribers, combined with the hunger for new content... I think you don't even need to do much incentivizing.
- steveklabnik 13y agoThere's an initial bootstrapping period before you get to those hundreds of thousands of subscribers, though.
- skore 13y agoTrue, but you would have that kind of "trying to establish a viewership" either way - it just also extends it into the technical realm. Obviously the "getting people to watch my stuff" problem is a hard one to solve.
- stcredzero 13y agoDepends on your goals. Duplicating YouTube? How do you make old, obscure stuff available? bakabt does it by incentivizing users to "adopt" old content in exchange for karma.
- skore 13y agoI would say duplication of youtube is neither a feasible nor a desirable goal.
- stcredzero 13y agoSo, basically, you're thinking that the Internet as a whole can preserve old, obscure stuff. 90% of the demand is about what's new, and that's exactly what torrents are good at distributing.
