From what I've read DTube works similar to torrents, but a little differently. Videos are stored on users' nodes (computers), not on servers as with YouTube and similar services. Your video is initially only stored on your node until someone else watches it. That's why after you "upload" a video you are presented with a page that tells you to keep it open to seed your video. You're not actually uploading your video, you are uploading the file metadata to the network. Once someone else watches your video it is stored on their node, but only temporarily. If a lot of people watch a video and others continue to watch it, you and other people will have no problem accessing it. If no one watches a video for a while, it will end up being automatically deleted from all nodes and no longer available. You can also pay someone to "pin" your video to their node.

If this is true, this is a serious blow to decentralized independent media. The monopolies win again.

I dont know. I guess 95% of youtube view time is on the trending videos. So that should work fine then.

There's a lot more going on in the world and to a lot of people outside of what is "trending". Usually what is "trending" sucks big time.

only for the moment. This kind of stuff takes a long time to catch on, and with internet architecture centralization is efficient even if not desire-able

thanks for the explanation, I was thinking that could have been the reason. Is a pity to think on how much future decentralization would have with these limits, so only popular videos would be able to be online (?) I really hope the future holds the solution for this technical limitations otherwise centralized services like youtube would keep being the king of online videos.. :(
