  The software isn’t the hard part, it’s the storage for the mods and networking infrastructure to get them out to people. Add in commonly requested features like comments, tagging, search with filters, and a website and you have a recipe for a wildly expensive and fairly complex product. As shitty as Nexus is, they have evolved into the YouTube of mods. A single entity hosting fairly sizable infrastructure to provide a free as in data theft service to basically anyone with a pulse.

  I am curious to see if there is a good solution to decentralized data storage that isn’t redundantly copying the data X number of times and hoping for the best. That alone would go a long way towards solving the infrastructure issues.

  I have a Phillips evnia ultrawide that has accumulated over 6000 hours SOT over the last year and a half, over 3k of that was playing RuneScape 3. You have to turn the brightness down to 10% and be on a flat grey screen to even see the beginning of burn in. It’s really a non issue, even in “torture” scenarios like getting 200m mining xp on the screen full time.
