Thank you! Who pays for vimeo/peertube hosting costs though?
Vimeo is a private operation just like YouTube.
Peertube is a "federated" system where videos are hosted among the computers of the people who upload videos.
There really needs to be a way to seed peertube videos without leaving the window open. A firefox extension even. They have extensions that do bittorrent, it shouldn't be hard. Videos could end with a "click here to seed this video" message
Yeah I was really surprised when I started looking into it that there's no "remote bandwidth runners" option. Although I think Peertube's devs may be just starting to think about that kind of thing since they just added support for remote transcode runners
Thanks!
