Lol you're delusional if you think that most people would want others imprisoned for years for conspiring to cause traffic or even to cause it.

People earn more as they age there's no doubting that. However young adults now own less assets overall than their parents or grandparents did at their age. It continues that way for every age cohort too.

The baby boomer generation owns and has owned more wealth than any other generation in US history even when accounting for age.

Yeah so we should keep driving 100% of the time and let the world get hotter.

Even the word "accident" is part of that downplaying.

Also consider getting some portfolios of photographers you like. Really worth it for ideas and getting a sense of what makes a photo good or not.

Well yeah that's what DEI does on the whole. It gets the workplace hiring people based on their skills. You're very close to getting it.

The article writer is an idiot and you may be too. It says nothing about DEI expertise.

This is equivalent to dunking on scientists when a flat earther claims to be a "science expert".

I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

  • YT videos don't need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
  • Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
  • Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
  • Doesn't need YT scale. Tons of YT "content" is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don't want to.
  • 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn't great). Don't need 4k for most videos.

Just adding to the chorus that while it's cool and conveniently sized the screen just falls apart.
