minus-squarehairinmybellybutt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down7·1 year agoThe most retarded thing about streaming, is that it costs so much more in bandwidth and energy and hardware, like it’s not even funny. When you broadcast, everybody watch the same thing at the same time, so the infrastructure COPIES information directly in their network. When you stream, EVERY USER REQUIRES SERVERS TO SEND DATA OF A HD OR 4K VIDEO FILE. THIS MEANS THAT A NETFLIX SERVER MUST MULTIPLY ITS BANDWIDTH BY THE NUMBER OF USERS. IN HIGH DEFINITION. WHY AM I YELLING? Oh nothing, it’s because the world is burning.
