but something P2P would probably work if you can stream from multiple seeders

Which is, in fact, exactly how PeerTube works: it’s got BitTorrent built right into it.

Frankly, it’s ridiculous how people keep harping on this “problem” as if it isn’t long since solved.

I thought it was largely federated? I don’t know how the internals work, so I don’t know what group of peers it’ll pull from.

Regardless, the problem PeerTube has little to do with its technical foundation IMO, but the network effect. If we get people to start using it, either we’ll fix it or we’ll develop something better, but getting creators to move is the first step.
