Uh also, double post but whatever:

You know what works fine on I2P?

Just oldschool HTML, with no fucking javascript, no fucking broken media containers, no bazillions of advertisement systems that constitute 80% of the website’s actual ‘size’.

Yep, everything basically looks like MySpace, the 90s.

This is a good thing.

GIFs caught on initially because they are a very lightweight and efficient way to add a simple animated looping element to a webpage.

Now, everything is built for maximum webdev ease, which is also maximally bandwidth inefficient for the end user, so now we need mega server clusters everywhere, for everything.

But evem the existence of working video hosting websites that work via p2p streaming shows that other ways of doing things like this are fundamentally viable… maybe not quite as snappy, but so, so much more efficient and less wasteful from a totally top down perspective.
