I feel that between nostr, torrents, zaps and payment splits, the tools for building a better YouTube exist. Seeders could profit share v4v, users could pay or access for "free" via ads - both paying seeders and creators. Hosting burden is shared across paid users. Content ownership is easy enough with the crypto in nostr.

Traditionally all that would require some software you run, but with nostr and torrents over web it can be just a web client. Imagine watching a video and seeing sats dribbling into your wallet, from the profit share of passively seeding as you watch.

Would quality in the viewing experience take any toll?

Would love to try out and test any proof of concept.šŸ”„

this is literally what theta TV did. Viwers turn into peers (in their region) and get paid for it by the network.

P2P would be the best way but Iā€™m not sure if it will scale and yield a good user experience. I will work in the direction of paid blossom servers for hosting. But I need to get the basics done first.
