  If a video doesn’t do well, it doesn’t need cached because it’s not being watched.

  They pay to store their flops.

    I was reacting to this:

    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.

        I thought you wanted videos to only be hosted through peers, without any server storing them, just like torrents

        I said that would mean most videos would die
