What's privacy like? One of the big problems with Peertube is that participating peers can gather information on what you watch. Is Nodetube any better? Ideally, I would not need to let anybody else know which videos I'm watching.

Personally I would never implement WebTorrent on production because of that exact issue. If you wanted to have it turned off by default and then have a user opt-in that would be one thing but I would never have it on by default. NodeTube doesn't share your IP publicly it just serves videos from the server itself. Thanks for your input!
