replyWithout YouTube and porn, is there really an internet?
replyMore like without video, is there still internet..... Absolutely yes. It's a tad hyperbolic I agree
replyMy kids strongly disagree.
replyFortnight isn't a video
replyalthough, somewhat ironic to your argument, I bet the intro that fornite plays when starting the game uses ffmpeg
replyIt would still be a game without the intro video.
replyFor us- sure.
replyFor most of the internet users- very likely no. Social media and video streaming IS the internet for the majority
it sounds like paradise, we should start working toward this immediately
replyIt’s the invisible engine of what makes up the majority of today’s internet. I don’t think that’s hyperbole. Tomorrows internet might not be the same.
replyFfmpeg has nothing to do with the internet other than being distributed on it
replyIt powers the content that makes up a lot of the time a lot of internet users spend their time watching. I don’t think the pedantry serves a purpose.
replyMost bytes traversing the internet is video these days. Arguably, ffmpeg has processed most of that video.
replyThen unicode powers the internet by that same logic.
