The IPFS on LBRY also means that the videos themselves don't have a "home" on one particular server. It's more like torrenting files. Correct me if I'm wrong,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume that if you take down a server holding a peertube video, it's not as though clients who have seen the video (or even federated servers?) would continue serving that video. The P2P aspect is merely a bandwidth saving scheme when clients are playing the video?

- orblivion 5y agoIt's cool that redundancy is a built-in feature at least.
