I mean i get that matrix is used by bad people, but that doesn't mean that matrix is bad.

Any decentralized platform will have this issue with csam, but that doesn't make ot bad. Matrix is basically what TOR is to browsing the internet, people use TOR for CSAM but that doesn't make tor bad.

However he does raise up a big concern and thats that homeserver admins are unable to change what they are hosting which means that they are forced to host CSAM which is a really big issue

Overall tho, matrix is still a good platform. There's nothing wrong with government contracts, its all open source. TOR was developed by the us military but that doesn't make it bad or even less effective

Now, is that DevOps engineer worth that much more than the warehouse guy who picks the item to send to you?

This is going to make me sound like a prick, but yeah the DevOps guy is worth more than the warehouse guy, maybe not 500k more but still alot more.

It all comes down to how many package deliveries 1 warehouse guy can facilitate vs 1 DevOps guy. Speaking as someone who worked at a warehouse (package distribution fedex) for a short period of time, moving boxes is nowhere near as valuable.

Not to say it's not crucial, but the ratio of engineers:package handlers needed is really high

He worked for the military as a missile test engineer, even did an interview with a four star general. The general described the video he was making (the interview i mean) as a weapon

It's a tool that basically pretends to be a user, it opens the website just like you and ~~i~~ other users do. It collects the data (images text videos) just by browsing around.

They used to be prolific, but the problem is that they use a lot of resources on the website's end. Instead big website owners started offering public APIs which allow bots to collect data without taxing the server too much

Invidious does not rely on the api, its a scraper
