The federation of peertube instances, which I feel will eventually be the most critical alternative of all:

I have a random question about peertube hope you guys dont mind.

Can I run a background task on my machine to help in some way with making the content of some instance more available to people, or would I have to run my own instance?

I think you can torrent the video and they should then also be served from your machine.

From this FAQ it looks like you may be able to as long as you torrent from something that is WebRTC friendly.
