00:00:17,970 --> 00:00:18,870
Kevin Bae: Happy New Year

2
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:28,770
gonna try something a little
different see how it goes this

3
00:00:28,770 --> 00:00:35,460
year Welcome to 2022 It seems
like we're moving into the

4
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:40,140
future but yet we're going back
are staying with the past and

5
00:00:40,140 --> 00:00:48,600
I'm talking about what's going
on with Twitter getur parlor all

6
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:57,090
the all the URLs all the all the
silos you know I mean look at

7
00:00:57,090 --> 00:01:05,370
this it started off with started
off with Dr. Malone getting

8
00:01:05,370 --> 00:01:10,620
pushed off of Twitter and then
getting on the Joe Rogan show

9
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:15,810
and you know going through all
his stuff about about the

10
00:01:15,810 --> 00:01:21,510
vaccines about COVID about
government response you know,

11
00:01:21,510 --> 00:01:27,990
and then Marjorie Taylor green
over the weekend getting

12
00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:32,640
permanently banned from Twitter
I guess it for people of that

13
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:38,310
political persuasion. It's now
become a seems like a badge of

14
00:01:38,340 --> 00:01:43,320
honor to get banned from
Twitter. So then you can make a

15
00:01:43,320 --> 00:01:50,940
big stink and move to another
Twitter clone so what they did

16
00:01:50,940 --> 00:01:56,100
was they all moved to get her I
don't know why. What happened to

17
00:01:56,100 --> 00:02:01,170
parlor? I mean, I remember the
whole stink about parlor after

18
00:02:01,170 --> 00:02:05,970
the election. So here's parlor.
By the way. I'm this is also on

19
00:02:05,970 --> 00:02:09,240
YouTube. And I'm gonna see if I
put up on my Facebook page as

20
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:15,270
well on the did I get I think
it's on Kevin Bay a my Kevin Bay

21
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,390
Facebook page, but I don't
remember either way. It'll be up

22
00:02:18,390 --> 00:02:23,490
there. parlor calm and
getter.com They're both

23
00:02:23,820 --> 00:02:32,820
basically Twitter clones. And
you have all these. Suppose it

24
00:02:32,820 --> 00:02:35,670
free speech advocates and a lot
of them are free speech

25
00:02:35,670 --> 00:02:40,800
advocates. But these are mostly
conservative people. Like, you

26
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:49,980
know, Candace Owens, and what
the heck is her name? I should

27
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:57,960
know it already. Let's see. Let
me see what I got here. Gina

28
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:03,540
Carano. You got Matt Walsh. I
don't even know how to pronounce

29
00:03:03,540 --> 00:03:08,610
this guy's name Jack. Paul
sobic. Paul sobic. I don't know.

30
00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Tim Poole, Dave Rubin. Iver come
in Mary Katharine ham. Joe

31
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,020
Rogan's there. So I mean, a lot
of conservative, more

32
00:03:19,020 --> 00:03:20,940
conservative ways. I wouldn't
even call Joe Rogan a

33
00:03:20,940 --> 00:03:24,780
conservative necessarily. But
people who not right now are

34
00:03:24,780 --> 00:03:28,470
associated with being
conservative. You know, they're,

35
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:34,290
they've opened up accounts over
on Twitter. You know, if they're

36
00:03:34,290 --> 00:03:36,960
not kicked off of Twitter, you
can guarantee I can guarantee

37
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,100
that they're just going to
continue to be on Twitter. But

38
00:03:41,100 --> 00:03:46,950
why? Why would you want to move
from one siloed platform to

39
00:03:46,950 --> 00:03:52,500
another silo platform? You know,
all you have is are the same

40
00:03:52,500 --> 00:04:02,100
constraints and a different and
a different venue. Now, you

41
00:04:02,100 --> 00:04:04,350
know, maybe they won't get
kicked off for saying more

42
00:04:04,350 --> 00:04:09,120
conservative things, but and I'm
sure they will, you know,

43
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:13,530
they'll be more open to having
some liberal voices, but the

44
00:04:13,530 --> 00:04:18,300
liberal voices aren't going to
go there. So what we have is

45
00:04:18,300 --> 00:04:23,670
this bifurcation, this split a
free speech, go over here and

46
00:04:23,670 --> 00:04:25,830
listen to this is almost what it
looks like what happened with

47
00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:28,770
cable news, go over here if you
want to hear the conservative

48
00:04:28,770 --> 00:04:31,560
side, the conservative voices
and go over here if you want to

49
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,740
hear the progressive side now. I
can even call them liberals

50
00:04:34,740 --> 00:04:38,610
because they're not liberals.
They're progressive. And you go

51
00:04:38,610 --> 00:04:40,770
here and you get this view, you
go over there, you get that

52
00:04:40,770 --> 00:04:50,100
view. And somewhere you're
supposed to find the truth. But

53
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:54,990
my problem is why go to another
platform? You know, and I say

54
00:04:54,990 --> 00:04:58,590
this ironically, as I as I post
on YouTube, and I post on

55
00:04:58,590 --> 00:05:02,670
Facebook and I also So use
Twitter, I, you know, I signed

56
00:05:02,670 --> 00:05:04,470
up for Twitter account, just
wait to see what the heck is

57
00:05:04,470 --> 00:05:07,230
going on over there, I doubt
that I will use it just like

58
00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:11,280
parlor when

59
00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:16,350
we already have all the
technologies that all this stuff

60
00:05:16,350 --> 00:05:20,820
run that the technology is that
all of these things run in the

61
00:05:20,820 --> 00:05:25,050
web, the internet, that's the
platform, that's where you need

62
00:05:25,050 --> 00:05:30,810
to go. And what we should do
what everybody should do, is

63
00:05:30,810 --> 00:05:34,770
learn about. And it's not hard
anymore, it's very easy, you

64
00:05:34,770 --> 00:05:37,380
don't have to get very technical
at all, to start your own

65
00:05:37,380 --> 00:05:41,640
website to get your own domain
name. And while yes, you can

66
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:44,910
always be deeply deep
platformed, even if you are not

67
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:49,890
on any of these services, so
like, I have my own website, I

68
00:05:49,890 --> 00:05:58,290
host my my podcast files, I self
host them you know, I have to

69
00:05:58,290 --> 00:06:01,950
pay, you know, what are the
connections between me and what

70
00:06:01,950 --> 00:06:08,580
you're hearing? You know, first,
the direct line in a linear

71
00:06:08,580 --> 00:06:11,400
fashion first from, from my
voice to the computer from the

72
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:15,180
computer across the internet. So
I have to first go through my

73
00:06:15,180 --> 00:06:19,980
own ISP, which is spectrum
cable. So that's the first

74
00:06:22,590 --> 00:06:27,420
connection that can be cut in
and D platform me. And while

75
00:06:27,450 --> 00:06:30,660
Yeah, I could go to you know, I
could use my Verizon wireless

76
00:06:30,660 --> 00:06:34,950
connection, but they can also do
that for me and keep me off. You

77
00:06:34,950 --> 00:06:37,800
know, and yes, I can move
around, I can go to public Wi Fi

78
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,040
spots, and I can do all this
kind of stuff. But anyway, that

79
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,060
the first point of failure is
your ISP, your connection to the

80
00:06:45,060 --> 00:06:50,580
Internet. The next one is
wherever you you are hosting

81
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:54,690
your file. So I have my you
know, my personal website, Kevin

82
00:06:54,690 --> 00:07:02,130
bay.com. And that is hosted on
DreamHost. So I pay, you know,

83
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,720
an annual fee for a virtual
server. And I installed

84
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:13,080
WordPress there where I host my
own blog plus some other blog

85
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:17,730
properties. It's also where I
host the mp3 files for this

86
00:07:17,730 --> 00:07:24,450
podcast. And they have Terms of
Service. You know, I haven't

87
00:07:24,450 --> 00:07:28,500
read through them recently. You
know, but I'm sure it covers

88
00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:33,690
legal content. But it's more
broad based because you know,

89
00:07:33,690 --> 00:07:39,600
websites, generally, are policed
by the people who operate the

90
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,880
websites. So that's the next
point of failure is the service

91
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:50,670
where I host my website. But
that's it, there's no other

92
00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:56,100
overlords. That's it. Those are
the only choke points between me

93
00:07:56,130 --> 00:08:03,060
and whoever's listening. Where
if you're on Twitter Yeah, you

94
00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:05,310
can open up another account, and
you can jump through all the

95
00:08:05,310 --> 00:08:10,500
hoops and, and while it's a
concentrated place for eyeballs,

96
00:08:12,300 --> 00:08:18,030
you know, you are subject to the
political whims of whoever runs

97
00:08:18,030 --> 00:08:20,490
the company, it's their company,
it's their platform, they could

98
00:08:20,490 --> 00:08:24,150
do with it what they want. And
that's not to say it's not the

99
00:08:24,150 --> 00:08:27,450
same thing with DreamHost. But
as far as I can tell, across the

100
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:30,540
history of the internet and
websites, hosting companies

101
00:08:30,540 --> 00:08:35,490
hosting websites, generally are
content agnostic. They don't

102
00:08:35,490 --> 00:08:39,150
care. You know, as long as
you're not hosting illegal

103
00:08:39,150 --> 00:08:44,160
content, like child porn, or,
you know, some crazy, crazy

104
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,060
stuff, advocating, you know, the
overthrow of the government. I'm

105
00:08:48,060 --> 00:08:50,190
sure even advocating the
overthrow of the government

106
00:08:50,190 --> 00:08:54,750
might even be okay. But let's
just say, you know, you're not

107
00:08:54,750 --> 00:08:57,360
making terroristic threats and
all that kind of stuff. You're

108
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,200
keeping it just opinion base,
like what I'm doing here. Or

109
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,170
providing information from
whatever it is, that's your

110
00:09:04,170 --> 00:09:04,920
expertise

111
00:09:10,710 --> 00:09:16,800
and what people can do, okay,
and it's how you how you get

112
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,050
ahold of podcasts is using, you
know, WordPress, and all modern

113
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:24,750
websites, and I haven't checked
out Wix or anything like that,

114
00:09:24,780 --> 00:09:27,720
you know, one of the other, more
popular places where people make

115
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:32,130
websites or SquareSpace.
Generally, an RSS feed is

116
00:09:32,130 --> 00:09:35,400
published. And it's done
automatically, especially if

117
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:41,070
it's a blog, and an RSS feed.
Okay, it's simply a file that

118
00:09:42,390 --> 00:09:47,550
any modern browser or you know,
any, there's there are things

119
00:09:47,550 --> 00:09:52,560
called RSS readers, or podcast
apps. Podcast apps are

120
00:09:52,740 --> 00:09:59,220
essentially feed readers that
you know, read the media

121
00:09:59,220 --> 00:10:02,670
specific enough. information and
can playback the audio and in

122
00:10:02,700 --> 00:10:04,260
most cases video as well.

123
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:15,300
So there's no gatekeeper between
the content producer and the

124
00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:20,910
content, consumer. You don't
have to go through, you don't

125
00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:24,150
have to worry about getting
shadow banned on Twitter, you

126
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:26,610
won't have to worry about
getting shadow banned on getter

127
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,710
or parlor or half having to
worry about, you know, something

128
00:10:31,710 --> 00:10:36,210
controversial that you said, and
now they're going to take down

129
00:10:36,210 --> 00:10:39,690
your account, you are your
account, the internet is the

130
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:45,450
platform, all you got to do is
access it. So imagine now if you

131
00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:50,250
if, you know, there used to be a
lot of feed readers, Google got

132
00:10:50,250 --> 00:10:55,380
rid of there's no Google Reader.
That would have been the best

133
00:10:55,590 --> 00:11:01,170
platform or app, let's say,
because the web and the internet

134
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,510
are the platforms. But the the
app and our simple RSS feed

135
00:11:06,510 --> 00:11:16,770
reader could replace Twitter,
Facebook, you know, any of the

136
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:22,110
social media, apps and
platforms, the only thing I

137
00:11:22,110 --> 00:11:24,360
really can't replace is
something like YouTube because

138
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,710
of video, video content takes up
a lot of space, and takes up a

139
00:11:28,710 --> 00:11:33,690
lot of bandwidth. So that
requires significant equipment.

140
00:11:37,290 --> 00:11:44,790
But, you know, using RSS, and
RSS is an old technology. Let's

141
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:49,290
see here, initial release, RSS
point nine, Netscape March

142
00:11:49,290 --> 00:11:57,000
15 1999 22 years ago, RSS 2.0,
released March 32,009 12 years

143
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,430
ago. And if you don't know what
RSS is just go to Wikipedia,

144
00:12:02,430 --> 00:12:09,360
they got a you know, a decent
rundown of it. It stands for you

145
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,780
know, Real Simple Syndication,
or they they have here Really

146
00:12:12,780 --> 00:12:18,510
Simple Syndication. And it's
just this it's a text file. It's

147
00:12:18,510 --> 00:12:21,840
called XML extensible markup
language. And it's auto

148
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:27,330
generated by you know, like
WordPress and other website,

149
00:12:28,110 --> 00:12:35,220
software. And the reader just
takes a look at this XML file.

150
00:12:36,450 --> 00:12:38,610
You know, you don't you don't
have to know how to you can

151
00:12:38,610 --> 00:12:40,350
learn how to put together it's
not that hard to put it

152
00:12:40,350 --> 00:12:43,440
together. It's, it's, it's not
hard to put together but it's a

153
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,950
pain in the ass to do it
manually. You know, but it's

154
00:12:46,950 --> 00:12:49,020
just text and it's not that
difficult to read once you know

155
00:12:49,020 --> 00:12:50,070
how to how to read it.

156
00:12:55,140 --> 00:13:02,010
But it's, it's old and it's it's
what? It's what connects people

157
00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:08,340
with podcasting and podcasting
2.0. And what they're doing at

158
00:13:08,340 --> 00:13:16,200
podcast index.org. They have
extended RSS, okay, that they've

159
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:20,700
added things to RSS to an older
technology that allows for

160
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:26,340
transcripts, you know, so
basically closed captioning in

161
00:13:26,340 --> 00:13:28,950
your in your podcast, app,
closed captioning in your

162
00:13:28,950 --> 00:13:35,610
podcast app. And for chapters,
so you can divide up your

163
00:13:35,730 --> 00:13:38,370
podcast in the chapter so people
can jump around to the

164
00:13:38,370 --> 00:13:45,300
particular content that they
want. And images links. So it's

165
00:13:45,300 --> 00:13:48,390
way more dynamic than it used to
be just for podcasts. It's sort

166
00:13:48,390 --> 00:13:52,560
of like watching the live blog
stream across your podcast app.

167
00:13:55,500 --> 00:14:02,010
There also trying to implement
cross app, commenting, which

168
00:14:02,010 --> 00:14:06,090
would bring more Twitter like
function, because you could have

169
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,830
a conversation thread for
particular podcast. And, you

170
00:14:10,830 --> 00:14:15,870
know, I would dare to say you
could do that also, for blog

171
00:14:15,870 --> 00:14:23,880
posts, so using a reader and you
can have cross app commenting in

172
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:28,380
a reader app. So that way, that
would make it way more like

173
00:14:28,380 --> 00:14:32,490
Twitter and now there are open
source Twitter clones as well

174
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:40,230
like Mastodon and podcast index.
That org has their own Mastodon

175
00:14:40,230 --> 00:14:49,050
instance. And it works just like
Twitter. And I think for right

176
00:14:49,050 --> 00:14:56,460
now, the cross app commenting
uses some open source, Twitter

177
00:14:56,460 --> 00:15:03,330
like clones for the commenting
But you know, imagine that it's

178
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,540
the web using the web and your
own personal website and RSS

179
00:15:06,540 --> 00:15:09,750
feeds. I, you know, I wish I was
better at explaining this stuff.

180
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:14,100
But in my mind, I can see it, I
can see, you know, there would

181
00:15:14,100 --> 00:15:16,710
be no gatekeepers between you
and the content you want to

182
00:15:16,710 --> 00:15:18,600
consume and the comments you
want to make

183
00:15:26,010 --> 00:15:29,070
you know, and, and with also
what they're what they're

184
00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:32,310
putting together to on
podcasting 2.0 is value for

185
00:15:32,310 --> 00:15:37,620
value model, which is streaming,
Bitcoin micro payments. Now, you

186
00:15:37,620 --> 00:15:40,680
can, you can stream micro
payments, or you can not stream

187
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,100
micro payments, you can do one,
you can do anything you want.

188
00:15:44,820 --> 00:15:51,300
But, you know, you can also
donate or pay, you know, a, what

189
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:54,660
they call a boost, which is, you
know, say you you like something

190
00:15:54,660 --> 00:16:00,510
in particular, so you can send a
boost of 100 Satoshis. Or what's

191
00:16:00,510 --> 00:16:04,770
called a boost to gram, where
it's a paid a boost, but with a

192
00:16:04,770 --> 00:16:08,850
message inside. So you can, you
can do that and communicate

193
00:16:08,850 --> 00:16:14,280
directly and you can, it's more
guaranteed that the person you

194
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,000
want to reach will read your
message, if you're sending them

195
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:23,970
a little bit of a payment or a
tip, as Adam curry hates. Along

196
00:16:23,970 --> 00:16:26,640
with the message, it's more
likely to be read even if it's

197
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:27,240
negative.

198
00:16:35,429 --> 00:16:39,209
You know, but I can see if we
can if we can, if somebody I

199
00:16:39,209 --> 00:16:46,199
wish I could write code and
write apps. But I can, I can see

200
00:16:46,199 --> 00:16:51,059
it where the value value for
value gets implemented within a

201
00:16:51,059 --> 00:16:56,039
blog. Cross app commenting can
get implemented within a blog

202
00:16:56,069 --> 00:17:00,809
within the RSS feed, using the
RSS feed to facilitate all of

203
00:17:00,809 --> 00:17:06,449
this stuff. And then the
internet is your Twitter. The

204
00:17:06,449 --> 00:17:09,239
internet is your go getter.
You're a parlor, you're not

205
00:17:09,239 --> 00:17:14,819
limited to that information
silo. And then somebody like Dr.

206
00:17:14,819 --> 00:17:17,699
Malone doesn't have to worry
about getting deep platformed

207
00:17:17,699 --> 00:17:21,269
from Twitter, and moving on to
another platform. He just keeps

208
00:17:21,269 --> 00:17:24,029
his website open and anybody who
doesn't want to consume his

209
00:17:24,029 --> 00:17:27,749
content just doesn't have to go
there. You don't have to see it.

210
00:17:30,599 --> 00:17:32,129
There's nobody there to silence
you.

211
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:42,930
Anyway to me to get to get to
the future of communications and

212
00:17:42,930 --> 00:17:46,410
the Internet and the internet,
and especially freedom of speech

213
00:17:46,410 --> 00:17:54,000
across the United States as well
as the world. We need to learn

214
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:58,650
more and get back to RSS. And
that's all I got
