The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He's helping other projects in the space, too.

People keep asking about storage and that's a valid concern. I remember a while ago Linus made a video about a crypto that can be mined with storage. So he made a huge raid of old drives. I wonder if something like this could or would be practical for a decentralized storage solution. Like... Encourage people to set up NAS's that can be used sort of like torrent seeding for a decentralized video platform and reward them with crypto.

I dunno... Just thinking out loud.

Edit: Jeez hit a nerve with the crypto thing, huh? Then what's the solution? Storage costs money. So ads? Subscription cost?

No, crypto is never the solution for anything. Its use cases are limited to drugs and scams, which are sometimes the same things.
