the idea is that you just watch them when you have a tiny gap to kill (and thus you become addicted)
I think you misunderstand how money is made off of these kind of things. Companies like TikTok, and YouTube make money by showing you ads and collecting data on you to sell.
A federated app, like this one we are talking about, is ad free, open source, and does not collect data on it’s users for resale. Video hosting costs a lot of money, so unless users are willing to donate to keep it up and running, it will quickly run out of server space to host videos.
yeah i understand that (in fact that’s kinda what i said in another comment). i’m making the case for why the time limit needs to be 60 seconds. you can already filter 10min videos in normal video platforms iirc
