> What PeerTube should do now is have some kind of opt-in peering between instances to mirror each others videos and provide secondary sources to share the load

They've had this bit for a while:

Oh that's fantastic! I hope this is supported on the new HLS-only streaming system.

HLS has been the default system for years, and yes, it works perfectly.

Aye! The way I used it when tinkering with Peertube (not making the content to make it worth keeping things going yet) was to set up secondary Peertube servers dedicated to this function to spread the load across multiple servers rather than use the p2p side of things - I wasn't sure of the GDPR implications of p2p

It worked really well at least at the small scale I was testing with :)
