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.
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.
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.
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.
