He won’t obviously, cause of treatlerism and being tech averse, but he could start it

This guy could barely play games and yall think he can fund his own infrastructure is crazy

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

funding is very easy, you just have to part with money lmao. i'm not suggesting he will bumble with his own rack in a basement ffs

He really couldn't. Someone could approach him for seed money, but he's just a leftist himbo who shouts at his chat and eats food on stream as a full time job. He's not going to be developing anything. Investing is about the extent of what he's going to be capable of. At the beginning, it would likely only be him and maybe a couple other people that they could afford to have on there, and he would probably struggle to find and keep hosting, because it will be a lot easier for the ADL to harass hosting companies when it's just him.

p2p and hosting harassment curious-sickle not to mention how fuentes exists then?

And again viability of online peer streaming was demonstrated, a decade ago or more, the issue is finishing the damn thing (and making it popular enough, which might be a bigger hurdle)

Nick Fuentes exists because he's a government asset

Alternatives exist, but an alternative that has low latency, high image quality, a strong chat function with emotes that can handle his extremely active chat, and strong moderation tool doesn't really exist.

Just to be clear, I also think he should find someone to partner with on making an alternative streaming platform, I just don't think that he will because 1) he's locked into his routine, and 2) his whole thing is about interacting with political "normies" and trying to make them leftists, and Twitch is where those people generally are, streaming wise.

Doesn't PeerTube already do this?
