I’m not a developer of any sort, but I’m super interested if a “folding at home” style option is doable. I can’t front the costs for a whole server for an instance, but I’m totally willing to contribute some resources from my pc to avoid falling into the same reddit trap. If we all did it as users I think that would avoid the centralization problem as well as distribute costs effectively.

Imagine wanting some popcorn and candy to top it off… streaming from home is the way to go now and they did it to themselves.

It’s a shame too, because there are some movies that just benefit from that large form factor viewing. I’d love to go see Oppenheimer on imax but I’ll be damned if I have to spend 50 bucks to go watch it alone with some refreshments and snacks.
