A community to crowd-source peertube videos to compete with eg mealtimevideos without using the likes of google.
Peertube uses bittorrent tech underneath to help distribute the load. Each viewer shares what they’ve downloaded to others viewing the same video at the same time. If 100 people are watching the same video at the roughly the same time the original host really only sends out 1 or 2 streams.
Things might get interesting if each of those 100 people want to watch a different video though. Pretty sure a server run by a popular youtuber like Mumbo Jumbo or even Justin Guitar would choke.
Additionally, if you run a PeerTube instance you can mirror others’ videos. I’m hosting my own instance mostly for watching and mirroring. I mirrored Elena Rossini’s fediverse video when it came out, partly because she was worried if her instance could handle the load. I just checked and the video still has 25 peers.
Mirroring is completely manual right now. It would be nice if I could automatically mirror videos from a couple of my favorite channels.
