Agreed. I have been personally archiving anything I find high quality for a while now. YouTube is fighting that, though. I hope one day we can get past this and just share this stuff in a distributed way (like BitTorrent). I still think what we lack is an easy way to do the busking model online. I refuse to pay by watching ads, and I refuse to further monopolies and contribute to garbage like MrBeast by paying for YouTube Premium or whatever. But if I could regularly pay into an account, say £20/month, and choose where to allocate that to each month by doing something low friction like clicking a button that would be perfect. I don't want to automatically pay for everything I see because I don't think it's all worth it. I'm not forced to pay for buskers in public just because I heard them. I think we have all the pieces we need for this kind of system, namely BitTorrent, Bitcoin and the public domain or CC licences etc. What we really need is polish and the network effect, ie. the last 20%. Unfortunately we all know the last 20% sucks and we only do it if we're forced to do it. |
