Each viewer automatically duplicates/seeds/has a copy of the blockchain of the videos he/she likes. Kinda like torrent seeding. Those would be true likes and would get deleted when the video gets deleted by the viewer who liked it.
A like would emit a coin/token while unliked=deleted video would burn that token.
This would prevent something like Luke’s letter (if it would be a video) from the future to be just deleted like Reddit did…
To prevent existence of consortiums that uploads ‘1000 hours of silence’ videos and like among each other (EOS haha) structure something like ERC-1155 would have to be used. Where the depth of your token pack tree would have a reputation angle to it.
More lesser quality videos liked would oversupply the market with tokens/coins and increase the individual data storage needed. So people would keep/like/store only content that they really deem worthy. So hopefully this would reach a sort of an equilibrium at some point. Kinda like difficulty in Bitcoin…
This wave of content would follow with the society’s interests as the older videos would get deleted.
The forces who ‘change’ history at the moment would approve of this platform… As the new ideas/concepts/‘truths’ would automatically blend in the wave and the original truths would disappear with the generations. Like Pascal coin…
‘Sick’ side of the society would be a problem as the recent video from New Zealand would most likely be among the top. At the same time when sickness is identified organisations which would try tackling it would appear. Kinda like Free Software Foundation in the IT world…
Actually each video essentially would have an individual sub-token and chain so that Luke’s letter would win over the consortium of ‘1000 hours of silence’ videos. So if you have liked 9 videos, you would have a copy of them/their chain on your device. And a mix of private and privacy videos/chains could be utilised like in Optherium.
Plus some propellant tokens to generate residual income/rewarding for keeping/seeding your videos and their chains online.
Also video content creators would end up delivering the information in a lot more dense and efficient manner to reduce the file size as viewers would prefer shorter videos to store/like. Again a balance would end up being created. Still, more tokens to the longer videos and less to the shorter to prevent the short/‘frequency’ video creation by consortium liking bots… Longer would not be efficient for them because of the storage cost. Unless they create something like that small Rar within Rar file which weights petabytes when attempting to extract it…
No more post edits of SpaceX live streams like they do on YouTube :)))
It would be a nice gig for me for the next bull run…
The best exercise so far! I actually enjoyed this.
That was everything on blockchain example.
For a mixture of blockchain and centralised solution - the videos could be stored on ‘nodes’ and only likes being on the chain.
