    I’m unique in this, but I firmly believe video creators should just make torrents, and post links to them from whatever site / forum they choose.

    Torrents have already solved the big static data problem, we only need a place (like here), where people can post links.

        Ya, but unfortunately only a tiny minority of seeders use webtorrents, and peertube still has to store every video locally. Because of that, peertube instances find that they can’t last long, because of the huge disk space required.

      I was just thinking about this. The content creators already have the original quality copy stored on their machines.
