| >Just imagine it works. I can easily imagine that, there is already similar things out there. >Would you actually use it? As a consumer, not a creator. Yes as a consumer absolutely. As a creator too, why not asking as a creator? You mentioned in the first sentence : >where you host a stream or upload a video I would happily do both consume the content and upload my own content. >Why or why not? Well in my case, "why", simply because : 1. Youtube eventually runs out of daily content. 2. P2P in my experience offers a lot more 'niche' content. The big outlets for any media (video music or text) usually offer mostly popular and america-centric content. When you are looking for uncommon content that isn't in english you have to look for underground channels to get it. 3. geolocalized P2P would offer local creator more visibility in within their communities. It could greatly help for local culture. 4. Youtube or any other centralized sharing services (meta, twitter, ...) simply have too much power nowadays. P2P allows to share content freely and makes censorship very difficult. |
