@mick super cool, out of curiosity, do we use DO's managed db? I was thinking of maybe using it for a future project. The main attraction being that there are daily automated backups (and the easy scale-up, obvi)

Time for some more DB space! -
Will you watch, are you watching, or did you watch the US Presidential Debate on September 10, 2024?@evan qualified yes since my family made me

This crew seem to genuinely believe in their vision and clearly gave a lot of themselves to see it realized.@mick @mpjgregoire That context makes a whole lot more sense. Cheers!

This crew seem to genuinely believe in their vision and clearly gave a lot of themselves to see it realized.@mpjgregoire @mick I mean, you're totally right, it's really hard from the outside in to tell, especially because I don't know their stack. So I'm trying to approach this from a perspective of humility, but also reconciling why this feels wrong.
It makes sense for start-ups vying from VC cash to take the approach of building a thing, waiting for it to get traction, and then try to raise cash off of that so they can scale.
But cohost's ethos really doesn't allow for VC funding...

it's easy from the outside to feel this way, but one has to ask themselves "how the heck?!"
EDIT: Especially surprising they couldn't stay afloat after reading they had like $16K as income!

Should YouTube federate?@evan if there was a fragmented ecosystem of video platforms with comparable user share, or of YouTube was losing user growth, then yes.
I don't think that scenario is a foregone conclusion, but I don't see it happening without Alphabet totally fumbling the ball worse than it did during the adpocalypse, or without a large grassroots movement.
I think if you see that in the platforms that have turned on or promise to turn on AP (Threads, Tumblr, Flipboard) vs those that haven't (X, FB, Reddit)

Should YouTube federate?@evan Should it federate for the benfit of its audience and content producers? Yes. Should it federate for the benefit of its shareholders? Not a chance (imho).
