Comment on Ask HN: Why don't many video hosting companies adopt PeerTube or P2P?

Comments

A vast portion of these comment threads are full of people blatantly ignoring two things:

1) The US and vast swaths of the world have metered internet connections. The benefits of P2P for your bottom line will be short lived as customers abandon you for bloating their data usage without their permission.

2) Those lower costs will never be passed down to consumers by companies. I don’t know how or why you seem to think this time will be different.

I’m inclined to feel there’s some Web3 Not-Quite-Astro-Turfing going on here. The refusal to see either of those terribly obvious points feels super fake.
