Ideally, everyone would just post their own stuff from their own disk. As things got popular, the fans would cache it for others. We’d just need the self-hosting angels to help us with discoverability.
Realistically, a quick death is probably a fortunate way to save resources if a video can’t gain traction from being useful or entertaining.

I’m even more confused now.
You mentioned with the number of dead torrents that videos would die quickly.
I mentioned that unpopular videos probably should die quickly.
You mentioned that the solution won’t work I suspect your definition of not working is probably different than my definition of not working. But I’m not exactly sure at this point.
