cool idea. I tried to upload a 17mb sample video to test and I can't get it to work.

This is a video about the "21e8 index". I have never heard about that. There seem to be one scientific paper about it, by Provides Ng, "21E8: Coupling Generative Adversarial Neural Networks (GANS) with Blockchain Applications in Building Information Modelling (BIM) Systems" from 2021 which does not have any other citation. Also Google does not really provide any information on 21e8.

How is this a representative example?

Proof of work to rank pages? That sounds like the worst idea I’ve ever heard. I’m no fan of Google injecting ads into the top spots of their results but at least you can get to the “real” results by just scrolling down. With this paradigm, every link becomes paid “ad”, and the ranking is completely dominated by companies and individuals with big pockets, not any objective or even subjective measure of the quality. And they’re all ads paid for by wasting energy.

I'm not sure if it's a joke or if he's for real... It's basically replacing google with "serach engine" where every place is bought.

Coming from SEO world this looks like a joke.

Selling the search result slots is just Overture all over again.

twetch solves this by encrypting each post on the blockchain and allowing users to revoke access (functionally deleting the post for all users) https://twet.ch/inv/ratel

Twetch does all of this but better. immutable data but with client encryption so data access can be revoked https://twet.ch/inv/ratel

This article doesn't bring up any real criticisms. It gives one example (the DAO) of how blockchains can be bad. That's it.

Agreed. Most of it are biased value judgments with little evidence. Still, the theses remain as interesting possibilities.
