Such an ugly world humans have created. Watch this ytb.trom.tf/watch?v=S2xHZPH5Sn…

These "creators" fighting to "reach people" on a "video platform". Or, in other words, these "charlatans" fighting to "fool people into watching their videos so that they can make more money and become more popular" on an "ad platform".

These ridiculous situations would not exist in a society that moved away from trade by making it obsolete. If you make any kind of content, you just make it and it will be available to whoever follows you. Simple. And if people want to discover other kinds of videos, that are similar, then you can have algorithms that can simply do that, but without these algorithms being charlatans and wanting to keep you sucked into their platform.

Take Peertube, the honest video platform. You upload there and all of your subscribers get a notification when you post something new. Easy. No BS algorithm to try and make as much money for the platform or the creator.

I swear humans have lost it completely. Obsessed with views, counts, comments, profits, likes....those were supposed to be a measure of value, but now they have become THE VALUE most are seeking for.

I am so sick of this nonsense and these prostitutes. I think Veritasium should use his clickbait title "This is why we can't have nice things" for this last video of his. Cause it makes better sense.

Even if he is right a little bit and says he has to play the game to reach more people with his more-scientific content, he completely ignores the side effects of such a platform/system/approach. How this approach encourages shitty videos overall, and keeps people locked into a deep state of confusion and misrepresentation of reality. It incentivizes youtube to keep users locked into their platform and feeds them wherever clickbait works best for views, and makes most creators work more on the title and thumbnail than the videos themselves. Even Veritasium says 50% of the work is in the title and the thumbnail. This is the same exact story of movies that invest so much into trailers and posters (clickbait to watch the movies), books that do so with the promotion and the book cover, games and so forth.

Same shit Veritasium. But you are biased since you use that platform and such tactics so of course you'll try to make it look like it is "no harm". Bad. Bad. Bad.

We have talked about these for a while now. It is the same culprit: our trade based society. This society makes humans chase numbers like drug addicts chasing heroin. And nothing else matters anymore. We. Are. Fucked. #tromlive

Ok so I fucked it up. Our last TROMcast is deleted; nonexistent; kaboom. Maybe the Canons conspired against us haha. So, what happened?

• Last night I was super busy with TROMjaro and other trom.tf services + educating myself about today's cast (listening to interviews with our guest). Peertube has a bug and if you select to have your live encoded, it stops the live after 1h. That was some months ago and I needed to test again last night. Streamed for 1h and it failed. Had to switch back to no-transcoding. Streamed for 2h. Worked well. So I was busy doing stuff, listening to stuff, then before going to sleep at around 7am I scheduled our TROMcast and shared it + posted about it on our Peertube.
• Today I was ready for the cast, all was setup, and we started. After it was done, no move video....Where is it? I realized that I forgot to setup Peertube to store the video after the live is done.

Long story short, Peertube has this weird way of approaching live streaming. By default your stream will not be stored. Which is very odd and quite stupid since I would always expect that if I do a live, that live will be stored. Else why do I do it? And they also do not make it obvious at all. This is what you see when you create a live:

Nowhere it alerts you about that option. Normally after you add a title, description and how you want it to be: public, private, etc. You click done/publish. And when you ready for the Live you can click the video's options and grab the live into such as the secret key:

Again, no mention that the live won't be stored.

So, you have to know to go to the Live Settings tab when you are first creating the live, and select "Automatically publish a replay when your live ends"....

This is really confusing. For one, why isn't that setting in the popup of the Live Info (see picture 2)? Second, why isn't the live stored by default and you can opt out of that? This way if you forgot to opt in for the deletion of the live after its ended, you can always delete the video. But if I forget to select to store it, then I'm fucked.

More to that, the wording is super weird. In my mind the first option called "This is a permanent live" sounds like this live will be stored. Permanent - stays there. The wording is weir I swear. Maybe is just me but I complained to Peertube a while ago about this.

Anyways....I made a short story long. In the end it is my fault for not paying attention. I should have also recorded locally via OBS, but I was worried my computer will be slow down. But for sure Peertube does this very weirdly and backwards.

I tried to recover the files somehow. Only managed to recover some 18 minutes from @Alexio computer....need to properly merge that together....

I am so tired.....and sad....

It was a very interesting tromcast....
