friendly neighborhood shitcaster / building @pinetree

So, is pinetree a decentralized YouTube? 

Asking for a friend, who I see in the mirror every morning

1/ @giu and I are excited to officially launch Pinetree! 🌲

We're building the best video client for casters, with crypto rails baked in. Our conviction is that ads-based video platforms are a local maxima and that we have an opportunity to unlock the global maxima — a video content network powered by a p2p economy.

Not really decentralized yet -- eventual goal is to be a utility for videos, but that's 5-10 years away at the earliest

Near-term goal is to just be the best Farcaster client for long-form videos. But if you want to look at it in a skeumorphic way, you could call it "onchain" YouTube

Great use of skeumorphic

Pretend I'm very intelligent but don't know big words like that 😂

Brainstorming here, is there any way to make Pinetree a frame?

I figure the power of Farcaster is to have mini apps built in
