YOUR VIDEO FILESIZES... DUDE YOU'RE KILLING ME AND NETWORKS

1.4TB ...for... 1 talk... 1080P ?
800MB ... 720p version
+ no lower resolutions copies?

Even copies at lower res means total copy of 1 talk = 1.4TB + 800MB + [500mb + 200MB etc

Those that don't notice and change res settings get your 1.4TB cake size

Even for the best of talks I would say that is TOO MUCH!

- measurably a lot of eco-damage
[ ups /down / traffic to read / write / move around etc ]

---------------------------
There is audio version here for those that want to avoid the video:

videos.trom.tf/download/stream…

But audio version isn't a replacement for the damage

---------------------------
MUCH LESS - Why?... Reason$
---------------------------
- I don't have bandwidth / internet speed, seriously - many share connections - consider them a bit

- 1.4TB / 800mb to save and the watch later is terrible
- you're not the only download I have, so can you imagine you're also occupying on my hard disk/disc / if not the network ?

- encourages MA$$IVE disk usage + cost (if you use all-you-you-can eat American backends you might not notice but some of us don't have that)

- less follows - if you want me / my profile of user to watch save more than 2 video's you're occupying space for subsequent downloads (should I buy another hard disk just for your channel and leave on during the night to download like dial-up? lol). Even if I did the 800mb option I would have to do one by one AND delete it.

- remote transfer = disposable / invisible damage.

Unless you're using cheap American back end$ + ULTRA-FAST net you might not even notice what you're doing... TIME TO DBL-CHECK THAT

I wouldn't even use this kind of space even if it was free.

For this podcast style collection - I can't see the logic.

------------------------------
SUGGESTION / MEASURABLE CHANGE
------------------------------

- Keep copy of big files locally
- If really needed, all access on request by users (see how many requests you get I bet just 1!). 1080p streaming seriously... what do you want me to do with that?...

...other than wasting traffic / energy / time for backing up?

- Add 480p version online so it's the healthy default for people - nobody is going to miss much more than that!

- Audit!! You need to audit and see the balance / points here / which side you're n politically even (time usage also!)

- Reminds me of non-technical camera people when they put default pictures sizes of 12MP for every picture and wonder why they can't email even 1 picture to anyone or why loading a picture pauses every time... so as example / side-related topic I think it's really similar
(5MP MAX for average pic is still very good and occasional switches to 12MP double-digit filesizes = clever usage of tech).

------------------------------------------
RESULT OF SLIMMER
------------------------------------------
- People can do more online and flatmates don't have worry and complain to each other and wonder why their internet is not working.
- Can save for future replay

------------------------------------------
ANGRY / POLITICAL SIDE
------------------------------------------
This is the kind of nice-to-do bourgeois stuff that just goes 5 steps backwards (ignores humbler usage) IN OVER-KILL while just having a 'nice' chat with nice people (I'm sure) about war...
so this Western kind of killing energy at the same time is for me personally a no-brainer. We're wasteful in such basic / even the technically able. Fast / lazy?

It's a bit harsh but kids (including me) are so politically aligned they can see and data-wise this is more conscious, but how we probably grew into this so new normal is such a higher ratio... r scales up so much more damage (unless you think your vid will solve things in 1 go and not need ongoing more videos).

Ignoring the Gb's and Tb's per film is nothing for new generations.

I know I've used amateur camera people and teenage style downloads as example but I stand by them also (don't forget the logic before that as the main).

Anger I think from those pushing out the dialup type people also like me (compared to your city connection)
and as a side-note (I know it's distractionary ) actually technically these speeds / upgrades etc are slowly pushing basic users as another kind of 2nd class citizen... <---woa

And maybe because you're technical able but technically ignorant for your own creations or 'just in case one day I'll need this all-you-can-eat cake'. [INSERT CAKE ICON HERE YOURSELF]

The disrespect or lack of humbleness (LACK of calculation per upload) is such an abuse of y/our privilege

You do the download / upload math and assess

1 download 1TB as download or stream... and then optionally multiply that by whatever else you have on your discs - that will do to prove it to yourself)

If you're still using American backends / backups that is also added fuel on to fire but for now keep it just to the first parts of this message. And try change it as a checklist.

And finally for those watching - ask yourself if any kind of revolution is going to not going to need the above or prefer lighter weights on it's shoulder and more mobility.

Picture that the revolution is ideally not going to be DISK FULL messages, slow streams of the intelligent talks and more self-maintainable storage balance.

Perhaps the ''revolution'' is just not to do this kind of stuff and take it back to a more kinder level of ecology / physics which nature and people do not feel so burdened by default.
