This is why I’m building @divine.video
I so want to just throw divine.video out to the world, but that's not the responsible thing to do. When I realized it's going to get a lot of attention and use, we had to step back and make sure we had systems in place for it to scale both the servers and trust & safety systems.
We're not ready to launch yet. We found flaws in the way we were detection AI content and some bugs that let users post videos longer than 6 seconds and a few spam related issues. We've got solutions to these issues, but need to implement them.

One of the completions that come up when I search for my name is “… net worth” and sometimes I tap on it to see if the internet knows about some secret reserve of wealth that my conscious mind is unaware of.

Apparently the attention @divine.video is getting is causing people to reach out asking to work for me... which is kind funny, I built divine as a project i could do myself on my own, because i was miserable being a boss who had to tell other people what to do in order to get stuff done.
