True. When we discussed the idea of a video hosting site a long time ago, we concluded that it would be best to leave out the "community" crap and let users embed the videos on their own sites.
The problem with that is, you wouldn't be able to derive income from traffic and advertising on the video hosting site, so you'd have to charge users for the hosting their content in order to pay for the storage and bandwidth. They may as well pay for their own hosting.

And we’re dealing with a generation of people on the internet who think the whole internet is Facebook and YouTube. They practically don’t even KNOW you can have your own site. LOL.
Yes, and when we try to explain to them in detail, step by step, how easy it is to do so, they give a little golf clap and go right back to whining about social media censorship, and "muh Internet bill of rights," and how "we need a new platform" from the evil globalist tech giants. Let's keep trying the same shit that has failed time and time again. Most people really are too stupid to be on the Internet. Thanks, AOL.

So true. Dialup BBSes, Usenet, and the early Web were the golden age. It was so thrilling to meet people from all over the world, share pirated MP3s, and all that. And you could say any fucking thing you wanted without snowflakes getting their panties in a twist. Good times.
