PeerTube has some interesting technology with the P2P sharing between users who watch at the same time. But with these kind of projects I think there are unfortunately social factors that impact their success as well as technical factors.

It's one thing to put a <video> element on a HTML page (or implement video over webtorrent), it's quite another to make people actually watch it instead of their TikTok feed.

yeah video social media is way ahead with algorithms and content. I still think they need to exist and keep pushing for this idea

The P2P stuff will take off once AI slop is done destroying the current web, like a new ecosystem emerging out of the carcass of a dead whale

No, unfortunately P2P's glory days are behind us. Shame, because it was a really cool technology.
