      peertube… maybe with torrents?

      That’s already how it works.

      There are so many people who worry about Peertube’s viability because of bandwidth costs – or straight-up claim it’s impossible – because they don’t realize it’s already a solved problem.

        And with good reason, given that high quality content is expensive. Even for a channel that is purely something as simple as video essays, if you’re doing a good job, its going to take hundreds of hours of research and writing, nonetheless something more demanding.
