So in other words this is a tech issue.
As someone who's written in-browser player and transcoding/server code...the lemmy/mastodon etc. version of this can work, especially if flexible bitrate handling is baked into it (i.e., bitrate offer/acceptance matching over a protocol). You can get this down to YouTube interface + install some software + open a port on your firewall.
Tech issue, infrastructure issue, content issue, financial issue...
Hosting text like lemmy is several orders of magnitude cheaper than video.
I meant something a little more peer-to-peer than lemmy/mastodon actually. Each person self-hosting their own.
So, kinda like Freenet or I2P?
If you wanted a privacy angle.
peertube uses webtorrents and federates on activitypub
Isn't that what peertube is for?
