Not OP, but probably all of those still register, only he was using lossless audio as an example of how it’s not even that good comparing with other platforms who actually do better by the artists they host. As in, a lot of people are willing to turn a blind eye to unethical practices if the product is great, but it’s not even that great, comparing with other existing services. Whether or not people actually do care about lossless audio is a different thing, though.

Interesting that you call him an 80’s rocker, I’d say his best phase was in the 70’s, where he drew the most from folk and R&B influences.

IIRC, Dailymotion has ownership ties to Vincent Bolloré, a French billionaire who supports the far-right. Perhaps the better option would be PeerTube, for video hosting, which is also French. We don’t need our own Broligarchs to gain more traction.
