from Wonder Struck · host Michael Combrink

open source YouTube what if you could view media personally hosted on holographic VPN virtual server cloud algorithmic co-ops what if viewers and posters could pick and choose between millions of admin notifications and settings, eg instead of monolithic platform dictation, you could subscribe to a watchlist for bad actors, or choose extensions to add to your cloud account to flag stuff you like and don't like what if the default was transparency and accountability, ie the default made it easy to see behind the scenes, who made accusations when about what, what the specific accusations are, reasoning, references, evidence, chain of evidence, etc, that users would have to go out of their way to turn off transparency and accountability references, etc that transparent accountable platforms were benefited from open source assistance, eg Wikipedia can operate on a shoe string because millions of volunteers, by default users get tremendous free and cheap assistance from open communities, users are free to close off open transparency accountability, but they lose many free resources, and either have inferior offerings or must spend lots of time and money to compete with free open source what if you could choose ad revenue providers, and control and cater ad content, placement, settings, etc, what if audiences could support with more than just likes and donations, what if viewers could donate cloud storage or processing, or volunteer to help edit or draft content what if video streaming could be as collaborative as Google docs multiple accounts collaborating on videos and channels what if the default was open source licensing, with easy toggles for alternative licensing and custom licensing what if licensing rights were standard meta data for web scraping indexing search etc what if co-ops could be formed with algorithmic protocols similar to cryptos algorithmic emergent properties, eg someone could code a protocol that generates revenue and retains a fraction for the digital entity organization, the digital organization then uses funds to purchase cloud space and offer free posting to new users up to say 2 gigs, and payout and larger limits with success, etc but it's all controlled and anonymous, if you want, by users, not dictated from boardrooms and Congress
