Does distributed hosting really work for streaming video, especially along "the long tail"?
- southerntofu 5y agoFollowing a quick search I assume you're referring to popularity of niche content? [0] Peertube should fare just fine with that. It's just important that instance operators consider the broader implications of running an instance: - you should find an organizational/financial model to still be around in a decade - you should find like-minded instance operators to seed one another's content across continents, to ease reachability If those two aspects are taken care of, "long tail" delivery should really not be a problem for Peertube.
