but no one has made an alternative? So no it isn’t easy to make a video streaming site.

This and all your further smartassery would be funny if the Web weren't full of alternatives which technically work just as good or just as bad, just don't have the network effect.

Make one! Stop saying it’s easy and make one! You figure out how to stream consistently and have these response times and these peripheral functions if it’s so easy!

I don't think somebody saying that something is not needed should provide an implementation to support their words.

Also I think something like Lemmy + BitTorrent support in browsers would solve the problem. It's actually funny that you still can't just use HTML5 video tag with a magnet link.

No they all suck

Like a whole fucking lot

And yes a torrent protocol for streaming media is a great idea but how. How do you seed so fast during watch, how does this not suck so much more than having local servers have your most likely to watch videos cached and ready like they do? It's a very hard problem to make a product that can offer what they offer. And they abuse that fact
