  • I agree. That show was a very good insight into rich people and their mentality.

    Even though it was hard to watch at times, it was worth the watch cause of the insight.

    They truly live in their own bubble that ensures only like minded people stay there

    Tap for spoiler

    In fact the whole point of the show was how ruthless Logan was and that his children were stuck between a rock and a hard place. They could never leave that life cause they are so used to the luxury, although Connor gave a decent try.

    They could also never be as ruthless since they had a decent amount of humanity left.

    So even with all their money and luxury, they ended up feeling very unfulfilled and like a failure.



  • What about a system that works like torrents under the hood and every time you went to watch something you just download it with an expiry date?

    You just need a metadata system like lemmy so people can find the videos, and once they decided to watch it, it downloads it for them via the torrent protocol.

    The only disadvantage is that it won’t be streaming but let’s be honest, streaming isn’t a huge advantage for shorter clips + high bandwidth (which you need for streaming anyway).

    You can also further optimize it by making each video cut into 5 min chunks so you can always download the first one and start watching sooner.

    The only drawback, like others mentioned, is that it works best with a savvy user base instead of just spoon feeding you and giving you little control (which apparently people just love these days).
