It’s not a guarantee, though, but it should be. If you serve for, say, 5 years and have not been dishonorably discharged, you should be automatically eligible for citizenship.

As of now, serving only exempts you from the continuous residence and physical presence requirements. You still need to be a permanent resident, know English, understand the US government and history, and demonstrate “good moral character” for at least a year out of the military.

Permanent residency shouldn’t be mandated for soldiers. They’re choosing to serve for the US - isn’t that enough? The English and US government/history requirement should be waived under the assumption that they understand all of those well enough after training and serving in the military. Good moral character really is just that you haven’t committed any serious crime which is fine.

I quit a long time ago without even meaning to.

There was just less and less content to keep me interested while more ads and “recommendations” kept taking their place. At some point I was just forcing myself to open the app each day and just stopped.

If an app, website, or game won’t respect my time, why should I give it any?

WebRTC could be used to provide peer-to-peer streaming. The load on the servers would be very minimal since the feeds would be sent directly from the host to the viewers. A lot of live streaming and video conferencing apps already use it to keep their hosting costs down.

The downside is that the IP address of the viewers will be exposed, even over a VPN unless precautions are taken by the user or the application.
