If the user experience sucks decentralization means less then nothing. If you can promise censorship resistance in any other way then thats good enough for now.
Once "useful" options present themselves you can always move to decentralized storage.
"Decentralization" is just a buzz word thrown around in the space as if that somehow makes the viewing experience better or the platform superior. It doesnt. Focus on improving the user experience on 3speak and dont get caught up in vapid discussions.
Have to agree. While I appreciate that you all are keeping your eyes and ears open for an absolutely truly decentralized solution. What's most important at this phase is the user experience. The market you're appealing to doesn't care about this. We're all blockchain nerds here, but NOBODY on the outside understands this stuff and they don't need to. They just want a good user experience and a place where they won't be censored or demonetized.
At most I'd say maybe including a disclaimer that videos should be backed up because a viable totally decentralized storage solution doesn't exist.
Thank you @wehmoen for that detailed and well explained of SIA & IPFS. Inconcluaion neither SIA or IPFS is good for 3Speak video platform, but we are hope to get the best one that fit to the goal of 3Speak.
Yeah it was a bummer how long it took to play in that test. I agree that that is entirely too long to upload as far as user experience. People will just go somewhere else.
I was hoping it would be an easy way to make the network more secure though.. not gonna lie. Then just use the delegated stake to encourage people to run nodes etc.
But user experience is key, and that clearly won’t work in this case.
But I do think that you need some sort of back up.. even if it’s not decentralized. Relying on one provider is just asking for trouble imo, well at least if it’s being marketed as somewhere where content creators who are losing their work on YouTube should turn to instead.
Have you explored more about torrents and how that would work?
Also, any update on the FAQs? Perhaps just removing that they are stored on blockchain would be a good start. As I said - decentralized doesn’t have to be the goal, just don’t imply that’s what’s happening and I think all is well.

Thanks for the info, yeah this looks good. With everything going on with youtube it seems pretty important to store one's own content now... :(
You might want to keep an eye on kim.com. He's working on a decentralized version of MegaUpload with k.im.

Great post!
Have you looked at holochain, I'm not sure this is fully up their alley, but I think it might be.
