Thought it would be a relatively simple thing to compile the weeks slop and seed it out. Any reason why it hasn't happened? I didn't think that patreon or stitcher would be more litigous than big media.
There was a lot of talk that podcasting was a medium that's escaped attention in the wake of jan 6th. Useful Idiots pod was kicked off Rolling Stone for their anti-imperialist left positions too, it seems like, and they had a little clout.
Just pods or other stuff as well?
Was talking about pods, what other kinds of slop don't I know about?
Mostly thinking about some anecdotes I've heard about countries with poor internet coverage where weekly collections of "the internet" are distributed via hard drive. I think you could include stuff like interesting leftist articles that have dropped that week, maybe any interesting videos that come out. Preferably with selective downloads.
Shit that's not a bad idea at all. I remember hearing about offline internet efforts for countries without internet access years ago. A curated (lol) torrent of the week's best left articles, pods and videos would be brilliant.
You're right about the selective downloads - all torrent clients can do that now afaik - been doing it with torrents for years.
This is an alt, so I'll post somewhere if I get something like that going. You think people would perfer a compressed file or an uncompressed one? Maybe just compression for the vids.
I'd say uncompressed - so that you can choose which files you're gonna download this week.
Although if seeding is an issue some torrents are compressed to one file, to stop people just downloading the popular files and not seeeding the popular files in the torrent.
It depends on the total size of the torrent I guess.
