this is very misleading. the bittorrent protocol is not optimized for video streaming. try building a tik-tok style client that has a near 0 time to first frame latency for multiple videos. with bittorrent there is a lot of gossip overhead.

I'm afraid you're misinformed. We've been using it for years for precisely the performance reason

The web-seeding nature of WebTorrent is beyond than normal Bittorrent

The chunking and ordering is the exact same as HLS, WebTorrent then adds onto that the ability to chunk over RTC in the browser to handle swarm events.
