You mean - just use IPFS? Or Tribler? And maybe there's been something else of the kind recently.
I guess Retroshare is not user-friendly enough.
There's also that LBRY thing with some web-hosted instances, an Electron native client and weird cryptocurrency usage attempts (in their case the goal seems honest ; it's just that I don't like things using blockchains - never understood how it would work for the use cases imagined, even in theory, people would tell me that I don't get it but they do, and somewhere around now it seems neither did they).
I mean, you are right, but there are attempts, sometimes close to success, of doing this with P2P (a video streaming service).
If you say then that monetization is an issue, then what I wrote about LBRY in parentheses is an attempt to do that exactly.
