content: SO VOAT's main support is getting bought out.... here is what we can do. We need a P2P version or reddit/voat/youtube/facebook/snapchat all rolled into one that is open source and is owned by each person who has an account making it impossible to buy the operation out as every user is a share holder and you can never get majority control as shares will not be sold. Your content is on YOUR phone/pc and if a person views it, then it streams to them off your device. If they "share" or "favorite" it, a copy is kept on their computer/phone making it easier for people to see your content and shows up in more searches as the cloud looks to everyone close to it for your search criteria first on all things from posts, to vlogs and all that. Search should have the option for "local" "state/country" or "world wide" so we can connect with people all around the world easier. As well as todays uploads, this weeks, months, 6 months, years, or search by starting and ending date. No like/dislikes that's a crock o shit imo - but I am flexible on this point add the feature if you want. If you block some one, they cannot see your content, you cannot see their content. If someone is breaking some law its out of our hands as the data is on some persons device, so pedophiles will simply have the cops knock on their door and say "your phone is streaming child porn, come with me..." after finding out from the system where the data originates from by contacting one of the people made into a moderator (some idiot always wants that job so it will be applied for) And after the case the source of the data will be delt with by cops and no longer on the system. For DMCA take downs again they talk to a mod and the mod can on the spot be like "yup that's clearly stolen" and take it down, this does not remove the data from their phone, simply tells the system to ignore that data in its searches - publicy posts what mod did it and for what reason - this can be appealed by the owner of the content meaning 1000 random people as they log in will be asked "to review questionable material" - and by majority can agree or disagree with the moderator. Repeat offenders will be able to upload all they want but no one will see their data as the system will ignore them forcing them to make a new account, get a new phone/computer to log in from... and in short this alone just kills their ability to spam on the platform. Also a person can hand in legal data to show something should not be DMCA'ed but they have to provide proof to have it put back up. (people on youtube are gaming the dmca system by giving a false counter dmca and youtubes letting it happen so they are getting swamped with spam - we play it the other way if its clear your guilty you have to prove innocence.) Viewers by 10% minority can "age restrict" a video if the owner did not do this already but with everyone paying a buck to get in they should be 18+ or at least 16+ (how many parents give their kid a credit card?). Pay $1 a year for your account, a person cannot have more then 1 account by name/address/phone number. And like that we can have our free speech and they cannot buy us out... also going to see a lot of different people flock to us as they are all tired of the bs all over the internet with way to much add's and so on... We would become the new front page of...well the world. Hang out, game, date, chat, share video and all that for so little it is basically free. Do we have any people from linux land who want to work on this project now that the idea has been outlined?
