10-20 years ago shit like this would have destroyed the platform. People who put up with it ruin the entire space.

What is enshittification?
The phenomenon of online platforms gradually degrading the quality of their services, often by promoting advertisements and sponsored content, in order to increase profits. (Cory Doctorow, 2022, extracted from Wikitionary) source
The lifecycle of Big Internet
We discuss how predatory big tech platforms live and die by luring people in and then decaying for profit.
Embrace, extend and extinguish
We also discuss how naturally open technologies like the Fediverse can be susceptible to corporate takeovers, rugpulls and subsequent enshittification.

This is what I advocate for. The caveat, but also the reason it will work (accordig to me) is that it's not monetised.
There would thus also not be very many dopamine videos (or ragebait etc), those are made to make money.
Also, if it isn't for making money, then the scope is no longer a big problem (you don't need the "line to go up" and get "more followers") and distribution becomes much simpler.
I'll gladly share a bunch of videos to see how it could function, I have a 0.7Gb up but can easily switch to a 10Gb up.
Thoughts?
