1 Mbps would barely give you a low quality stream to a single user, never mind multiple users. My point wasn't against self hosting your own content either, but rather that this is absolutely not an alternative to YouTube in any way because scaling to YouTube's level is extremely expensive. The draw of YouTube is also the user made content, not stuff you can buy off the shelf, rip and then host. This means those users would never use a decentralized platform because discoverability is nearly impossible. The fight you are fighting is a nobel one, but reality means it's always going to be a niche solution that nerds use.
