  Considering it's being hit by Hacker News, I'd say that's not that bad.

    If it's peer to peer, shouldn't more viewers be better?

      It depends on the configuration of the server. Some disable Webtorrent (probably because it doesn't support HLS). When they do that then I think it pulls from the federation, which then depends on how many have mirrored it.

        I didn't know it pulled from the federation at all! That's interesting.

    It's always been like that for me. Even the lowest quality videos struggle to play.

      What region are you in, and what instances are you failing to access? Smaller/newer instances generally don't have a lot of "peer instances" seeding their content, so that could be why you're having trouble accessing it. Not everyone has Youtube-level bandwidth, but even Youtube is very hard to access in many parts of the world. Peertube is designed in a decentralized manner so that people who enjoy your content can setup a local instance in their neighborhood to mirror (seed) your content.
