screening would have to be decentralized. centralized anything is bad design in long term. for now, as it's unfinished, it's tolerable, but it has to be fully decentralized and independent from main devs to succeed and withstand attacks.
also why are people still talking about torrents. there is nothing torrent related anymore on the project. torrent for most people is considered a bad thing anyway, and it's boring compared to IPFS that it actually uses. I guess people haven't read the updates.
I actually disagree. The screening process for content should be centralized. People love to rave about decentralized blockchain postings but this only leads to spam and network ddos attacks.
Also another reason the screening process does not need to be decentralized is that this is not a social media. Who would censor a movie or tv show?
The tactic the dev team have implemented is the best.. which is why I like these devs so much. They know their shit and can speak proper english (differentiates them from 75% of the devs here). Yes they're anonymous but for good reason.
Also to all the idiots fudding here.. The devs have already received the majority of the ICO bitcoin. If they continue to update and go further than the milestones they can easily make much money than they did off the ICO from Vidz.
Maintaining the site is cheap because all the content is decentralized. No point in running because of website cost. The only thing they need to do is improve loading times, implement Vidz coin (coming soon), and begin advertising. All this is very little work compared to the potential revenue a popular purevidz website could generate.
It's a numbers game and the numbers say: hold long term.
