Seriously, if it was an integrated platform for images and videos, hell add in other media types as well, IMO would be a game changer. Especially once the pirates get a hold of it (videos). DMCA guys would likely come after you, so I would also incorporate some sort of URL masking. Not sure how that would work.
With videos, I would say it has the potential to be on the level of torrents. That big. So if you are going to do it, think big. Think hosting from places where you can't get shutdown. With redundancies and mirrors (ala piratebay). Also do not forget file hosters as they are the real gray area of the net IMO right now. I'm talking rapidgator, filefactory etc. Debrid has a clever way to do it caching TONS of videos and then serving them (streaming) up to paying customers using the filehosters premium links.
But yeah, example someone uploads music video to youtube. Someone posts link on 8infinity (new name) and it then goes through uploading to vimeo, invidio, bitchute and a few random file hosters. Would be very tough to DMCA that. Hard part is that since 8finity technically uploads and breaks DMCA, could get into trouble. Something to consider.
If you guys do work on it, please tag me in discussions, I'm willing to contribute what I can.
Cheers guys!
I’ll think on it we would need a really creative way to hide in order for it to work.
Integration was definitely a cool idea
