If you offer easy downloads, make sure you allow people to disable it, as creators are often affected by content theft

yep that was originally scoped in, but was dropped as we ended up not offering download support at all. we’d definitely include it

Thanks for acknowledging the option to restrict downloads of videos, when and if you add download support. 👍🏻

I will say that anyone who wants to download videos can just search "bluesky video downloader", I don't think the lack of a UI button deters any content thieves

There’s a difference between stopping casual theft and stopping determined thieves. Stopping the latter is probably not worth the effort. The first is low effort and 80% or more of the downloads probably.

I think you're applying retail logic to the online space. Most successful clip farmers have entire workflows with automation tools.

Yeah, it's more just a social hint rather than anything that provides a hard stop. As a content creator you pretty much have to use a takedown service to protect your content.

i just feel like reconstructing the original mp4 from hls on the client when it's available as a blob is very much a crutch 😭 and also idk whether the cdn reencodes videos or not but if it does that would also mean reduced quality...
