Youtube (and most other streaming services) is already decentralized into thousands of edge caches. Decentralizing it further doesn't make much sense because the network cost is about the same if individual homes or their nearest ISP DC has the cache. Most home networks are wireless only at this point which is pretty bad for throughput, latency, and reliability if serving other homes. Maybe ISPs could start building some storage and IPFS into modems? I think handling the metadata of a p2p system might still be too costly. Imagine every neighborhood having to run a torrent tracker for every media file produced in the last ~year. |
