  • I think the largest challenge though is maintaining the distribution and managing the associated upfront costs.

    Existing large content producers could likely afford to handle this but new producers could struggle paying to seed their content.

    Though I do think overall this is more achievable than people give it credit for:

    • YT videos don’t need huge bandwidth for a sustained period; only for short bursts. Most views come in within a week.
    • Content is probably localized to specific countries. Less need to replicate across the globe.
    • Let the source prefer to seed the highest quality and other peers downsample and replicate as needed.
    • Doesn’t need YT scale. Tons of YT “content” is spammers leeching essentially free hosting from YT. No one needs to seed their videos if they don’t want to.
    • 1080p is still fine for YT videos. h265 is very efficient (though downsampling 265 isn’t great). Don’t need 4k for most videos.















  • Bro it’s that the inequality that the Kens are supposed to accept is just how it is.

    I think we both get that and I think it’s a great illustration. It actually hurt to hear that line as a guy.

    But that’s the whole point of it. If it hurts to hear that as a man about a fictional character in a movie how much does it hurt to hear that in your real life?

    The movie is not advocating for switching to matriarchy. When Barbie gets liberated she doesn’t leave Ken behind and tries to help him in his own liberation. Unfortunately other Barbies don’t understand this and are happy to have their power back while doing minor feel good policy changes for the Kens. This is how the world actually works in a lot of instances. The movie is demonstrating quite pointedly how the world is so that we can see and feel it.
