Oh, it’s been pretty crap for a while now. I constantly see viewers complain about AIDS ads and even content creators feel poorly about them.
Looking at https://twitchtracker.com/statistics shows a relatively flat viewership base. Since January, they’ve seen a decrease of close to 15% viewers and concurrent channels. It appears that they had a large increase in viewers and channels in 2020, probably due to Covid, and since then they have been in decline.
I’m kinda surprised they haven’t done this already. Twitch has been doing this for a while now, and the only reliable way around it is to use a proxy in a country that Twitch doesn’t run ads in.
ActivityPub really does feel like the future, or at least the one I hope for, it’s been very refreshing and exciting and it gives me much the same feeling as the internet did when I was new.
Video does require a lot of storage unfortunately, and of course it makes sense that creators want money for what they often do. The closest would be that each creator or group setup their own PeerTube, however that comes with cost and administrating, which is not something most would want to do.
I2P is definitely more complex. Unless I2P gets implemented on consumer routers I don’t see it becoming really popular, and most things on the internet do not need truly need anonymity even with VPN companies that like to advertise otherwise.
It’s really upsetting seeing the internet transform into this commercialized capitalistic thing that used to be fun.
Now I want to continue this by saying there are still communities and places that have kept true to the free and open internet and not all of it has been commercialized. And there are always fun and exciting projects happening, recently I’ve been looking at i2p, it’s similar to Tor but designed to be self contained and not for browsing the open web instead something called eepsites similar to onion sites.
Oh, nice. I highly recommend the applications listed under the *arr tag. 🏴☠️
They have a DMCA link on that git page. It’s in the bottom right, 100% best way to contact.
Arr there matey, I’ve been pirating them cat videos over them interwebs again. I love Cox, they even know that I pirate all the cat videos and they just tosh the any letters that they get pertaining to my activities on the intertubes into their paper shredder.
Is this an admission? While it would seem like it, I think not. How does anyone know what is true or not, especially when it’s on the internet. Like me, am I the real LimeWire? How can you be sure?
