Implementing digital sobriety requires questioning the pertinence our uses of digital technologies, one of which is online video whose use we focus on here. Online video is mostly used for movies and series (34%), porn (27%, tubes (21%).
What an absolutely ridiculous premise. This is like how corporations paid for campaigns to blame ecological destruction on consumers for not properly recycling in order to completely shift the conversation away from their deliberate and massive exploitation of resources.
We can have ****ing online video we just need to replace cars with trains and fossil fuels with wind and solar… aghhghghhgg
It seems like drm schemes cause a lot of the bloat. Everything being locked behind subscription fees with no option to permanently download means you have to download every viewing. And then most of the time the file is cut up into pieces and bounced around different servers to slow down pirates.
