Okay, yeah, that scans.

By suggest the peeeing app, I’m also suggesting a change to the architecture then I’ve talked about previously, probably have not made clear here.

The peering app works more like a torrent client. It’s not just caching things that you’ve seen, but you can also place your content there.

We would separate the content from the indexing. A peer tube provider could offer both roles. People could store their own data locally or pay the provider a small amount to use their storage. Maybe even IPFS style that would just pin it for you for a fee. It would make the model sustainable.

Everyone is responsible for their own seed content that way. Nobody is required to pay millions of dollars to store a bunch of bullshit for nothing that they don’t care about, which would end up making what monetization that can happen more effective.

Advertisers are just pouring billions of dollars into YouTube. They could have direct payments to smaller providers much easier without all that waste. We just need a sustainable storage method in a way for people to get paid.
