    My only wish is that they support sharing bandwidth without having to host a peertube instance.

    Remote runners for transcoding video already exists, so I think it’s plausible that we could get something for redundancy / help with bandwidth as well.

    Bandwidth is just not really that big of an issue on PeerTube. If multiple people are watching is watching the same video, they share bandwidth and lots of PeerTube instances have redundancy enabled.

    A much bigger issue is storage.

    What’s even worse, they are removing the possibility to share bandwidth without hosting a peertube instance:

    Hardly any instance uses webtorrent, as HLS provides a much better viewing experience. HLS also support P2P.
