Is size really the issue though? I can torrent more than I can store on my hard drives.

Seems like you could build a video streaming service on that. (Actually I think some people already did this.)

Well that's exactly what peertube does to distribute the load of serving the videos

Yeah it is an issue. I archive my 4k blurays and they chew through my hard drive space far faster than I can get new hard drives
