@ajsadauskas @pluralistic @technology i think it already is unprofitable, just that they haven’t decided (how) to act upon that fact.
On the other hand, is hosting it all become more or less expensive over time? If server costs are getting lower faster than the amount of stuff people upload grows, they could well keep it just to know what every person online wants to watch (and show ads, I guess).
Max Wainwright @toot.community I make experimental electronic and acoustic music involving free improvisation, adapting to complex systems and making & using terrible instruments. I've done solo and collaborative performances, installations, sculpture, radio pieces, chamber composition, video work and more.
I also make instruments/devices (not terrible) under the name noise.technology. I sell them online and use them in workshops.
