BitChute works extremely well and the more users watching it, the faster it streams. Maidsafe was announced some 3 years ago and would be the same kind of thing, but it has not been completed yet.

We need P2P methods that can't be censored. So these kinds of things are very important.

Absolutely. I wish steemit would offer this functionality in a video category

Ooooo! Very interesting! I'll have to check out exactly how it all works though before I trust it with any content.

I, too am a fan of bitchute.

Any idea how to get in touch with the folks running it? Seems it could fit quite well with some of the concepts expressed here:

Now the question is how could STEEM be implemented into a product such as this one?

they could just add a video section and implement the webtorrent stuff to posts

Bitchute makes me type a swear word... Heheh.
