Not to judge the content quality but I'm curious about the motivation to build this website. Why? Because in the recent days we were discussing the poor quality Google search results and one argument is that the results are poor because the quality of the content has degraded due to the motivations of the content creators, i.e. optimising everything for SEO and views, likes. etc. with guidance of analytics.
So how this works? Is the creator of the website doing SEO here? Will this be sold later? Is it a project for a portfolio? Why are we getting this good quality content? Will it be surfaced by Google?
Not that I suspect anything nefarious, just curious about how original content(beyond commentary on social media) is made these days. What made that content possible? Why the creator(s) spent time to create graphics and text and payed for a domain name and probably hosting?
We actually built How Video Works as a side project at Mux [1] (inspired by How DNS Works [2]) - there's a note about it at the top of the page. We have contributions from our own team as well as others in the industry.
Our main motivation is to try to educate on the complexities and intracies of streaming video. Despite streaming video representing 80+% of the internet, it's all underpinned by a fairly small community of engineers, which we're eager to help grow through tools like this, and the Demuxed community [3].
Edit: I should also mention that Leandro was kind enough to adapt a this content from his amazing Digital Video Introduction [4]
Uh, if you read a bit about Leandro, you'll learn that he's a senior engineer at Grupo Globo in Brazil. I'll leave it to you to discover more about Globo.
