With youtube blocking adblockers, maybe it’s time to look into alternatives and start migrating videos there as well. Any viable Fediverse alternatives that’s mature enough to contend with youtube?

BitTorrent requires people to be able to connect to each other directly. In a world where almost every home user is behind a router that does NAT, software is no longer able to just open a TCP connection because that requires a publicly open port. I realize that for desktop software some elaborate tricks exist to circumvent this, but how would a website be able to do that?

I have absolutely no idea, you could try asking the devs or look into webtorrent.
