Why don't video creators just use BitTorrent?

submitted by Enviro from self.AskSaidIt

They can buy a 200mbps server for 10 bucks a month. Streaming on qbit is easy as downloading in order. Are uploaders all via and too dumb? Maybe I'll do it for them. Then they get no hits. 99 percent of that shit is just outrage Boomer media anyway. Prolly makes the problem worse. Get a life politics fags.

Peertube is a federated streaming video platform that uses the Webtorrent protocol to balance the load on viral videos. There are a number of instances already, but if you want to start your own you could check out the documentation.

$$$$. These creators want ad revenue. Some of them would rather tone down their politics and content than be demonitized.
