I had a thought recently about youtube comments. I'd been thinking about how youtube conversations were skewed by the fact that the original poster presents their view on video, while the comments down below are merely in text, which tends to create a sort of celebrity/ fan dynamic, rather than a dialogue
of equals.
I thought, what if, below the original video, we saw a series of thumbnails of people's video responses to it?
That would create a sort of non- real- time audio visual conversation, a bit like the linked idea, except between angry strangers.

I suspect youtube might not like this, because there would be extra load on their servers and bandwidth, and the micro-vids might be hard for them to monetise (and control). After all, someone probably wouldn't watch a minute of ads in order to see half a minute of commentary. |

If it made the interactions less angry, it might also reduce "engagement" (i.e., how many hours are spent looking at youtube), so, again youtube might not like that. |

Youtube allowed video responses from 2006 to 2013, but dropped because it of low click-through rates. |

Well, there's some way to go before 2103, so that shouldn't be a problem. |

//2006 to 2013// It was a time which was ahead of its idea, or similar. |
|
| |
//thumbnails of people's video responses// Why not try again, now that we have multiple devices (including vehicles!) with video capabilities, and the literacy rate has suitably declined?! |

You could, I suppose. Just because it wasn’t profitable a decade or more ago shouldn’t stop anyone from trying again. |
|
| |
Still … what’s the HB jargon for an idea that was not only baked, but went stale and moldy and eventually thrown out? If you want to scrape the green and black fuzzy bits off, go ahead. |
