minus-square Dessalines ( @dessalines@lemmy.ml ) linkfedilinkEnglish10•2 years agoI’m unique in this, but I firmly believe video creators should just make torrents, and post links to them from whatever site / forum they choose. Torrents have already solved the big static data problem, we only need a place (like here), where people can post links.

Because of that, peertube instances find that they can’t last long, because of the huge disk space required.
