one have to wonder, if users are already doing all the work to flag and make noise to restore the false positives, what value the centralizers of information even add?

the case for p2p is stronger than ever now that bandwidth is cheaper. downloading a torrent from other users is faster than pressing play on youTube, when you account the time wasted with advertising.

I am with you on the p2p thing. I have been considering developing video streaming with p2p (similar to bitchute but better UI/UX). But despite that, p2p still needs a central server for the non-video elements like static files - images, css, html etc. Can't avoid it 100%
