The Fediverse might be getting their own mashups of Tiktok, YouTube, and Vine sooner than anyone thought, thanks to the work of one prolific dev spearheading an effort. The best part? He's helping other projects in the space, too.

Peertube actually uses some pretty nifty p2p tech (not quite BitTorrent iirc but same principle) to mitigate load from popularity spikes.

What about how hard it is to have an account on any instance. Pwople can't even comment on video without an account

Can't even? Where is it possible to comment without an account?

But not being able to create an account easily is a good point that speaks against the concept.

But I would guess there are instance still open for registration.
