Except that bitrate is highly variable; a high quality stream of static content can use way less bandwidth than a lower quality stream encoding a lot of motion.
Now keep in mind they’re continually developing; perhaps testing different scaling preferences, or different codecs like AV1; suddenly you need a host of different bandwidth:estimated quality rates, that change over time and need to be kept in sync with client side changes… it’s not worth it
It’s pretty terrible “study” - they found 100 offensive tweets, reported them, then 4 days later saw only one was taken down; then concluded “Twitter fails to act on 99% of hate”
But these were random tweets, none of them had more then 10,000 views, some with less than 100. It could be Twitter reviews reports based on view count, or based on # of times reported. Maybe it effectively stops all hate speech that hits 10k views, and prevents 99% of hate speech view counts. But this study doesn’t consider this at all.
> collected tweets promoting hate from 100 Twitter Blue subscribers
They collected tweets from 100 blue subscribers that contain hate speech. I think you misread the report. Maybe there is other problems but I don't think you are right about what you are saying through.
