The goal here seems to be to incentivise bandwidth-sharing, but this is not the main problem.

For a "decentralized youtube" to ever make sense, the problems that need solving are how to compensate content-creators/owners, and how to prevent piracy.

Two problems: - Incentivising decentralised infrastructure (this solves that) - Incentivising content creation (completely different issue, will always require a political solution, and cannot be solved by technologists)
