I'm thinking of a sustainable long term strategy for @loops
I think most videos should "expire" after 30-90 days, with exceptions for popular videos
This would keep content fresh and storage costs down.
Wdyt? (boosts appreciated)

What about repeat postings to keep a video up which would expose the platform to those sticky costs and work against that rational aim?
It would be annoying in all sorts of ways to have to provide a direct way for a user to fund that and it might give rise to unwanted behaviour where some entity can buy storage and delivery in ways that the regular user can't.
Otherwise limited lifetime seems a positive feature.

@dansup can you back older ones with distributed storage? Turn them into torrents?

@dansup and it there's gonna be an expiration maybe there's a way that people who have liked or shared can get notified so that can download if they want?

@dansup @loops I mean it is an interesting idea but the thing is that the “real power” of video hosting platforms is that over time they build out a library of videos, like YouTube is not the most popular platform because of the number of hours of connection that is posted there per hour as most of those videos to not get even a few views but the fact that there is hours of content about basically anything.
