I can not program, but I am really going to start pushing myself to learn. But, my idea, and anyone feel free to use this, is an open source self hosted (like p2p or torrent) music, movie, fuckitanything app. This has to have been thought of already. Essentially we need to figure out how to decentralize everything. Yes, we need a central exchange kind of like a bazaar or market, but the actual exchange happens from individual to individual. And yes, there are more intricacies like group orders.

There are also intricacies like copyright law.

It does exist, see qbitorrent and similar apps. Torrents already fill the usecase you’ve defined: decentralized sharing of arbitrary files. The main problems being the central exchange and the need for seeders.
The bigger the central exchange (torrent tracker) the more susceptible you are to both internal and external threats, but you need to be big because bigger means more seeders and more content.

So…limewire?

Ah yes that’s where their development resources for all the last 5 years went: fucking up the paid experience with minor tweaks and fucking up the free experience with major tweaks.
I pay for this shit for my whole family and don’t know a service with anywhere near the same library, I’d jump ship in a heartbeat to a service with both a complete music library and a first-class podcast listening experience for web/PC users.

What’s wrong with this? You’re not paying anything?
HowManyNimons@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s worse than it used to be.

Why would they improve free services when they want you to subscribe

I bet you all don’t even know what ROI means.
TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 1 year ago
If you are smart enough to understand what ROI means, you should also be smart enough to understand that these business moves happen at the expense of the customers.

That doesn’t mean people aren’t allowed to complain about anti consumer practices.
If they can’t manage their money AND make a worthwhile product, that’s not our fault.

If it wasn’t for them working with a turned off screen unlike youtube, I could’ve switched long ago. That and device switching. Long shows neessitate these two.

Are you on iOS? Invidious works with the screen off in iOS 17

Thanks, but Android. Although I feel like looking for other solutions.
