   @alcinnz @Valenoern en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miro_(vi… , originally Democracy Player, was great, I remember watching "Cherub, the vampire with bunny slippers" on it. Don't know what happened to it.

     @Valenoern I don't know what this would look like, but I've spun up my own review site & I encourage others to do likewise!

     Maybe it'd look something like YouTube?

     I think part of the success of #linux based operating systems is that they managed to create a nexus for /every/ #FreeSoftware program to distribute itself to interested people, through package repositories and package managers. it's incredibly powerful that you can load up an entire minimum operating system of purely Free Software and then boot up your package manager and go discover more.

     I think we need to create something vaguely like that for #FreeCulture to really get it to snowball.

     so, the idea here was anticapitalist creators trying to drum up enthusiasm for all similar efforts, in whatever way, to create the feel of a 'media empire' formed by many decentralised people refusing business empires

     in some cases paid ads could be placed in environments where their topic is usually unthinkable.

     though my thoughts on anything like this are usually aimed toward 'what can someone without much money do?' and in this case that's 'make the ads' / 'make parallel structures'

     > would these be paid ads [...]

     many times i'm thinking about an environment like youtube / mastodon / the-web-in-general where increasingly everybody *sort of* slightly has a platform
     yet we're all still playing this dumb game of fighting over attention that will mostly go to "Brands"

     when maybe there could be a better option, like uniting and cross-promoting the /totality/ of being outside corporations as the unit that competes with a big corporation

     one weird idea I've had as I learn about the "art history" behind the things I'm making, what exactly I want to make, and the various places people are taking the concept of 'socialism' is:

     non-proprietary product placements.

     this idea of retaking the heavily blurred line between content and commercials so that content is now built around advertising things you can "build yourself" or that at least don't require giant corporations to exclusively produce them
