So in other words this is a tech issue.
As someone who's written in-browser player and transcoding/server code...the lemmy/mastodon etc. version of this can work, especially if flexible bitrate handling is baked into it (i.e., bitrate offer/acceptance matching over a protocol). You can get this down to YouTube interface + install some software + open a port on your firewall.
peertube uses webtorrents and federates on activitypub
Isn't that what peertube is for?
Tech issue, infrastructure issue, content issue, financial issue...
Hosting text like lemmy is several orders of magnitude cheaper than video.
I meant something a little more peer-to-peer than lemmy/mastodon actually. Each person self-hosting their own.
So, kinda like Freenet or I2P?
If you wanted a privacy angle.
