RE: Is hive ready for primetime?

[valued-customer]

I today asked Peakd what prevents embedding video from other platforms and in different formats, that other fora have been able to do for decades. I suspect there is no good reason, but there is a reason.

Hive is kept this size because this is what the oligarchy can keep control of. Steem reveals what happens to a plutocracy that attracts investor interest. The sole attraction Hive presents is the ability to simply completely control governance by no more stringent barrier than buying more tokens than anyone else. Certainly our performance financially isn't attracting investors.

Thanks!

You mean Rumble videos? What platform should we be integrating here?

"Several other platforms and common video protocols, Rumble, Odysee, X, and Bitchute, mp4, and webm would probably cover the vast majority of content creators needs today. Short video clips have been potential to discussion fora for decades."

That is the short list, of course, excerpted from my comment to Peakd.

Edit: also, when we provide a link to a video we direct traffic to that site. When we embed video into a post on Hive, we instead create a library of content here, and reduce the need of interested people to leave Hive to learn what they want to know.
