IPFS, why haven't we seen video streaming services? (hackertalks.com)

What's the state of IPFS?

I remember a few years ago there was excitement about using it to back video distribution but that seems to have fizzeled out.

Is there any video streaming service using IPFS?

Is the IPFS network growing? What is the best way to see the health of IPFS?

In my opinion, the coolest project currently on IPFS is Standard Template Construct. Just no video streaming.

Well, you'd need to make a video-hosting site in the first place. And you need to host all the videos even if you use IPFS if you don't want to provide a bad experience, so you don't escape any of the problems of hosting a video-hosting website. IPFS has its own challenges it adds over regular video-hosting site challenges.

So, it's not really worth it.
