    theoretically they could provide an embedded video link I suppose and the centralized viewer could use that.

    The trouble is that most content creators like RT aren’t going to want that either, because the whole point is that they want to be able to serve ads and whatnot to pay the bills - plus they’d very much prefer people go to their site so that they continue watching RT content, instead of just watching one thing and moving on. Ultimately the “perfect” solution is going to have to strike a middle ground between what consumers want and creators need

      That’s why this solution would also require some sort of standardized advertising integration. I think every provider and content creator would want this. The standardization would of course let them choose the frequency and aggressiveness of the ads, or they just wouldn’t participate altogether.
