Show me the walls, on a system that takes ingestion from anyone with a Hive account. But also let's them send their streams anywhere on Earth that they want to?

If having a Hive account as a pre-requisite to use a "Made with Hive" or "Made In Hive" app, that solely furthers the use of Hive for content creation and financial transactions, is a "wall" for you, perhaps this particular chain's intentions are not for you? That's allowed, but it's not how I position myself as a Hive Witness, a Hive app builder or a Hive community member, community creator or general Hive philosophy supporter.

People can send their streams anywhere they want, many ways to do that, and my site is just one of many that they can send to, IF they have a Hive user account, the only baseline barrier to entry.

But I do not have to send their streams anywhere else, and I don't have to choose to support streamers or streams from outside our eco-system here inside a Hive based app.

The proposal above to "just skin their pipeline" opens up so many cans of worms I don't even want to try and list them all, though I touched on some of them in earlier comments.

We have hive accounts for a reason, many reasons.

By your argument, Hive Keychain should turn into a multi-chain key tool, Hive-Engine should have all the Eth Tokens on it, Hive.Blog should allow wordpress users to post...

Does not compute. Does not further Hive Blockchain in the world. Not for me, and the users I seek, likewise will want Hive to be the one the others need to integrate, not the other way around.

It's about having Vision for this place's future in the crypto world at large, not trying to crutch off the crypto's and networks that are merely bigger or older.

It's a belief set I have, many have, not all have, but for those that do, there is HiveStreams.Live for their streaming and viewing pleasure.
