Could also have something to do with how corrupt their office is over there. I’ve heard lots of allegations of female streamers needing to do things such as send nudes or perform sexual acts to stay on the platform. Similar to how the kpop industry is run.

A lot of politician-level takes in this thread.

It’s a real shame that IPv6 multicast is as IPv4’s multicast implementation (global multicast not propagated by ISPs). I feel like live streaming/live TV over the internet could have made really good use of this feature.

It would in theory mean that they wouldn’t even need to operate their own servers in other countries/regions. One server could feed everyone.

The problem is a real one, Netflix for example have ISP level caches so that their content isn’t streamed across the open internet when it doesn’t need to be. But in the rest of the world it’s been resolved differently. I’m honestly not sure how ISPs keep up with the backhaul requirements for an ever increasing requirement for speed.

We are likely going to see more of this kind of thing.

Services like Twitch, Netflix, etc have had a long time of using the pipes for low or no cost, and contributing nothing to the network except congestion.

No one expects the roads to be maintained for free, and for businesses that use the roads, they gotta pay.

EDIT: I retract my statement, barsoap gave a pretty detailed explanation of what’s going on here.

There are some amazingly uneducated people in this comment section. I’m not going to bother correcting all of them, I’ll just leave links here so people can teach themselves how the god damn internet works.
