mine is: youtube

i think we need to make some sort of system to make video sharing easier for servers without costing a fortune (that maybe impossible)

    YT operated at massive losses for years to build up hardware and capture the market, all while giving us the service for free. I have no idea how that could be replicated. Even if a generous multi-billionaire threw $20B at the project, how could it be sustained as it ever expands? A government could do it, but does anyone want a government run video platform? Yuck.

      Also it’s almost impossible to stop the positive feedback loop of more users more content that leaves every other service behind
