ALL PEOPLE CREATING GIGABYTES FOR SHORT VIDEO SHOULD KNOW BETTER.

Here's the fat kid list - mostly because they also claim to be "small" in footprint or "free" in a bourgeoisie bloat way for their videos.

It's also free advertising for them in this shit list BECAUSE I ADMIRE THEIR OTHER WORK (NOT THE BLOAT OR LACK OF MOBILE-KIND VUDEO SIZES LIKE 360P- JUST 720P AND ABOVE MOSTLY MISSING LARGEST DEMOGRAPHIC - MOBILES! ! !)...
AND CLAIMING TO WANT TO SAVE THE PLANET YOU FAT FUCKS.

● @aral 's recent1.3Gb file for half an hour chat (my bandwidth us like GTFO)

Decentralisation begins... [yawn... yah just kill the planet with massive files and backups... nice]

● @tio Another in theory person...

Will revise this fatty bum bum list later...

-------------------------------------------------------
BELOW IS WHAT I SENT THEM LESS CHILDISHLY IN PARTS OVER THE YEARS...
-------------------------------------------------------

[ This post is not for drama. I think we've simply gone too far just to get our message across at increasing file sizes ]

TLDR;

CONSIDER IT ECOCIDE / AN ENERGY SUICIDE if you're anyway killing the planet by adding big files online for little engagement reward.

A kind of bourgeois "save-the-planet" data-killing is happening faster and faster for videos added and own-streaming online.

It's a bad gamble- whether your stuff is ok or not.

Better make sure to gamble the right way and have lower file size (you can still educate with medium-res and even audio versions of vid).

Unless you have really an epic blockbuster ( even a feature film takes less space to up/download then some of your videos) then you're being reckless and rapacious in your consumption.

RULE: "IF NEAR A GIGABYTE, THEN YOU KNOW IT AIN'T RIGHT."

I.E - IF IT'S ALL DESTINED TO BE DEAD DATA (unless really it's worth keeping / not forgetting / stuff is usable to remix elsewhere) THEN KILL / USE THE DATA IN SMALLER WAY;

Yes small is beautiful
Yes trade-free tools is a good way

But you honestly are civilised morons if you accept a GB for 1 low use / small duration video. It is simply too much 8n size... and then × how many vids you have at 1080p+ (which I consider too much or at least with the pyramid of all resolutions) then yes a lot of your stuff is actually overkill and measurably stupid ignorance represented in the Terrabytes and by demographics of your users (we are mobile users - check your dashboard).

Go ahead check some of your own videos and default quality settings (how many and is it on the highest res as default?)
----------------------------------------------------------------
CONSIDER AN AUDIT or AN ACTION
----------------------------------------------------------------
● Why big video at all sometimes?..

----------------------------------------------------------------
BIG SCREEN, BIG PROBLEM...
----------------------------------------------------------------
For those with massive screens, it is not the right logic to expect such data loads per video.

(and the many resolution formats increasingly NOT IN 360p resolution doesnt help at all for those if us on metered bandwidth, mobile networks, even just shared-bandwith in house).
---------------------------------------------------------------
MY USER EXPERIENCE
---------------------------------------------------------------
I load up one of your videos and realise it's 1.3Gb to play it... or not much better at 720p...

With my flat mates previously they would complain... or I wondered why our network is so slow. !!BIG VIDEOS!!

And they had every right to complain if you're slowing down our shit ! - and I shouldn't have to check every video size from those claiming act to save the world or have humble small principles!

● Have you not learned from America's all-you-can-eat fast food joint model?...the false economy of cheap storage abroad..? and not wondered why/how it happens we can do such things for increasingly less worth and meaning? Consumption and habits...

(yes that's you eating there eating the storage space shoving your face in it).

Its just diminishing returns i hope you see with this increased glut of storage and cloud processor usage. Provided by America doesn't help with policies / data handling but I would also say this is glut from any country not just the biggest dominator on the planet to be wary of!

----------------------------------------------------------------
ACTION POINTS - JUST TRY
----------------------------------------------------------------
●Inventory Check all your video sizes
(Do you know the total size of all your videos?) Dare you to say the total to yourself out loud.

●Keep 720p & 360p versions.
Delete all 1080p from online ...

You'll instantly get back *a lot* of GB's of space.

(unless *really fuckin special* <---- really)

● Consider audio-rips of your videos
(especially those chatting-shit / casual talks). Make quick clips of best parts.

We don't need these mostly static faces on video. Add a thumbnail pic of participants or picture on the web page
* IF really needed. *

● Set default playback to low quality - PeerTube etc
...MANY CAN PLAY HQ BUT IT'S WASTED on them with a mobile or laptop right?

Set default to medium or low res and let user see IF THEY EVEN NOTICE!
(User can up res... IF needed... so less packets / trafgic to start)

●Nobody cares or will remember you past a few weeks. Just how it is today.

Those that do remember or need will ask you or will love to use smaller sizes if they have similar ethos of low storage space... UNLESS ITS REALLY FUCKING SPECIAL <--- LET US TELL YOU THAT.

(most don't care or can't as they have their own full disk space already so don't try too much ' oh I can't see the detail of that unimportant thing ' )
----------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
----------------------------------------------------------------
SAVE THE PLANET - USING LESS SPACE, HEAT, DATA AND BANDWIDTH..

[ALL is up and down bandwidth
》 remember 《 + MULTIPLE BACKUPS
》daily etc = 》OH FUCK. TOO MUCH]

The world doesn't need to carry your weight indefinately and just because Amazon S3 is cheap that's not feeding the right habit either.
This only cheapens your logic to use and cheapen life force / energy itself for consuming the 'cheapness'.

Don't be the fat kids in the picture...
or the bourgeois adult, in real life.

I appreciate you read some of this -
perhaps twice.
