Would it be possible to offload the majority of the traffic using some P2P protocol for videos, like webRTC?

You could use WebTorrent which is P2P in the browser, the issue is exposing people's public IP addresses which I really don't like, so I would never run it in prod unless it was a user opt-in, but not a big priority for me at the moment.
