    I’m really curious to see if any of these options can pan out long-term. It’s extremely expensive to host video, and it seems like it could be a real challenge for federated video hosting to take off at scale. I’m hopeful!

      Peertube has been around for a while, but indeed many instances aren’t open for registration and many disappeared at a point.

      In theory the bittorent behind it is well scalable, not sure how it works practically
