p2p and hosting harassment curious-sickle not to mention how fuentes exists then?

And again viability of online peer streaming was demonstrated, a decade ago or more, the issue is finishing the damn thing (and making it popular enough, which might be a bigger hurdle)

Nick Fuentes exists because he's a government asset

Alternatives exist, but an alternative that has low latency, high image quality, a strong chat function with emotes that can handle his extremely active chat, and strong moderation tool doesn't really exist.

Just to be clear, I also think he should find someone to partner with on making an alternative streaming platform, I just don't think that he will because 1) he's locked into his routine, and 2) his whole thing is about interacting with political "normies" and trying to make them leftists, and Twitch is where those people generally are, streaming wise.

Doesn't PeerTube already do this?
