honestly i think it'd be nice to have a full p2p video directory instead. something like peertube but without instances, resembling a torrent tracker like nyaa, aimed generally for educational stuff, entertainment, music, etc. basically youtube but as a torrent tracker, to reduce the storage requirement. you'd be able to seed your favorite media and the fact that people would not want to waste their storage on seeding worthless stuff and the technical hurdle of p2p would keep the mindless slop out.
I like the idea. My only gripe is it's complexity for the average user. If there was a way to make it super simple. Torrent clients and trackers are way to complecated the average user.
