I haven’t seen a GIS map in ages. Nice, and thank you!
I guess my question is if these outfits store some of the created works that reside on YT. I would argue that retaining everything on YT is a bit crazy. Organisms forget for a reason.

The only problem is the lack of public investment. I’d much prefer to see municipalities provide internet and web hosting services to its residents, then build out parallels to BigPlatform through a fedi model. A fedi ecommerce element doesn’t exist.
For profit platforms end up being little different than the East India company, which was owned by the world’s richest man of his time. We had a party in Boston over it.

Archive has immense storage capacity, but Google's data centers are much larger.
The world would be better served with archives scattered across the globe which federate. I've been drawn to the idea that every municipality should have one more or more archives (tied to libraries), which then federate.
the fundamental protocols of the internet are distributed and decentralized; they were designed to survive nuclear war.

Note that Youtube enacted a policy of deleting very old footage.
The process is already underway.
@PostmodernPythia yup.
Enclosure is good because it suggests a cage.
and it’s funny that pro-platform bad takes come from a certain yt personality.
Academics are discussing the real down sides of having their discourse disrupted twice by platforms. First by Facebooks purchase and shutdown of a platform they used, which spurred migration to Twitter and now Twitter. In general “academia” may be done with for profit platforms.
Essay shortly after the first Musk owned Twitter exodus.
Yup. Enclosure. Much of our lives take place on their estates.. I mean plantat.. I mean platforms. Wew. I think I need more coffee.
