You're missing the point: if I want to contribute bandwidth, I need to host an instance or watch the exact same video somebody else is watching.

Bandwidth is just not really that big of an issue on PeerTube.

Finding a nice video on some random instance but being unable to watch it because it can only provide 100KB/s or worse says you're wrong.

That's why I said we can hope they expand on the remote runners, so that people can easily install a runner that could share bandwidth. Just like now we have runners, that are very easy to install, that can transcode videos.

Bandwidth is not one of the bigger issues with PeerTube and that's coming from someone who hosts a PeerTube instance. Obviously you will have issues, if you host PeerTube on a slow internet connection.
