VideoNeat is up again! The theme was very old and not updated in years so it was not working properly and we were unable to update the whole website for some time now. We finally changed the theme and redesigned the entire website. It looks quite similar to how it was before, but probably a bit more functional now.
Mind you it is not optimized for mobile phones and it won't be for some time. It is not a priority for now. Only after the TROM II documentary is released we can do that. But regardless this website is not meant for such tiny screens anyway. And most mobile phones can't even properly support the Bittorrent network that VN uses.
Also we need some 50 more euros for our campaign to pay for the backups for VN and all other websites. Please help if you can tromsite.com/fundraiser/ we have to pay in less than a week.

TROM
Unknown parent • •What are you talking about? Videoneat is an educational website where we list scientific documentaries mostly. VideoNeat is part of the TROM project. The TROM project's main website is tromsite.com.
If you want to know what TROM is about maybe you can read our main book: The Origin of Most Problems - tromsite.com/books/#flipbook-d…
If you find anything conspiratorial I'd be very curious to know what that is.
TROM
Unknown parent • •On the website we have both a short description and a short video introduction. We are also about to release a 5h documentary in a few months time.
Despite that I will summarize what TROM is about, for you:
The society we live in, from China to USA, Europe to Russia, from communism to socialism, capitalism, and so forth, is simply a society of trade. From cryptocurrencies to ads, to money or data collection, pretty much everything in our society is driven and based on trade. A simple practice that made sense hundreds of years ago, but today it drives more destruction than anything else. It makes us all put profit over anything else. And thus, we argue, trade is what drives humans to create most of the problems we see in the world today: climate change, waste, slavery, corruption, data collection, you name it.
That being said, we argue that you simply cannot make this game fair, we should move beyond it. So, what if we start to create trade-free goods and services to push aside the trade-based ones, killing the bad incentives that push humans to create so many pro

This is TROM in a nutshell.

Unknown parent • •You have complex questions and expect for very simplistic answers. I don't think it can work like that. We argue that the most important part is to understand "the problem" not to come up with any solutions. Like the only way to, for example, cure cancer, is to understand what cancer is. We give this example with the germs. Before discovering these microscopic organisms many hundreds of millions of humans died since they had 0 solutions for those infections. The moment they understood where these infections come from (little tiny organisms, germs) they came up with a lot of solutions: vaccines, washing their hands, some pills, boiling the water before consumption, you name it.
So we want to make sure people understand that "trade is the origin of most problems".
For example when you ask "Is Trade Free a version of socialism?" then what do you mean by socialism? What Robert Owen started in the 18hundreds as "socialism"? What some tribes proclaim today to be socialism?
Trade-Free means we should create goods and services that ask nothing in return. Like Wikipedia,

in reply to TROM • • •I mean I feel like the site takes up more vertical space now.
videoneat.com/category/documen…
Look at the screenshot attached, just 2 documentaries are taking up all my screen and I still can't fully read the description of the first one. Would be nice if it were more compact, having to scroll a lot is bad UX.
And of course there's no hurry, you can fix this when you're free from all the TROM II work.

in reply to Rokosun • •Oh well I suspect your screen has a very small resolution. This is not how it looks on my full hd screen.
I did not test it much for other resolutions but will try to improve it a bit the following months. Am too sick now and also need to focus on TROM II. In the meantime try to zoom out a bit ;)

in reply to Tio • • •@tio Wow that's such a big difference between your screenshot and mine, if you look carefully you'll notice that in mine the pictures look almost square instead of being rectangle shaped. I tried zooming out and it worked, so for now I can use this trick.
Also did you get COVID from going to the dentist? wishing you a quick recovery
