    Is size really the issue though? I can torrent more than I can store on my hard drives.

    Seems like you could build a video streaming service on that. (Actually I think some people already did this.)

      Well that’s exactly what peertube does to distribute the load of serving the videos

      Yeah it is an issue. I archive my 4k blurays and they chew through my hard drive space far faster than I can get new hard drives

      Lbry does exactly this. Actually it works way better than the last time I checked it out. I’m guessing they have invested in a centralized storage solution because I’m encountering basically no missing videos and extremely fast playback which wasn’t the case the last time I checked them out a few years ago
