I find it odd how people are hating on the idea here, while this could obviously be a lot better than the alternative... you know unencrypted video files that someone can access whenever they want. The concerns I'd have with this myself would be that I'd have to trust the website. As it is I trust my spouse a lot more than some cloud service and I don't expect that to change.

At least if it's unencrypted then there's no sense of security, false or not. You know exactly how vulnerable you are. With this app, you don't might assume you're less vulnerable than you really are.

Which is why I leave my door unlocked.

What did you expect?

I expected my colleagues to respect the things I do in private and realize I'm just human. And at the very least, if they were going to publicly respond, I'd have expected them to compliment me instead.

You expect people to behave a certain way when you know they won't. Then you let them get to you because you don't stand to whatever you did.

You expected them to compliment you. It means you are proud of what you did. But if you really are proud of what you did you wouldn't care about their opinion in the first place.

So either you are somewhat ashamed of what you did and regret that it became public or wanted to brag with it but are now angry that you colleges made fun of you instead.

I think "a prenup for home videos" might be the worst marketing angle possible. It sounds like a legal contract. But, worse, it makes it sound like it's only something you should use if you don't trust the other person. Instead, they should market it as "2fa for sex tapes" rather than a trust issue by itself and point to things like "the fappening" icloud social engineering hack. I can't imagine many people using thi…

It's bizarre. Why is this focused just on sex tapes ?

There are many, many reasons why viewing private videos that require two people to approve is useful. Even during legal negotiations or confidential meetings. Two lawyers could hold the keys for example.

I agree. I'd be pleasantly surprised if this isn't patented already.

This is too general (and likely obvious to a skilled practitioner) an idea to be patented.

I think you mean that this is too obvious an idea to NOT have been patented.
