## Why

We can't build a FOSS video streaming alternatives to YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo... with a centralized software. One organization alone cannot have enough money to pay bandwidth and video storage of its server.

So we need to have a decentralized network (as [Hubzilla](https://project.hubzilla.org/page/hubzilla/hubzilla-project) ([Hubzilla YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/hubzilla_ynh)), [Friendica](http://friendi.ca/) ([Friendica YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/friendica_ynh)), [Mastodon](https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon) ([Mastodon YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/mastodon_ynh)), [Diaspora](https://github.com/diaspora/diaspora) ([Diaspora YunoHost](https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/diaspora_ynh))).
But it's not enough because one video could become famous and overload the server.
It's the reason why we need to use a P2P protocol to limit the server load.
Thanks to [WebTorrent](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent), we can make P2P (thus bittorrent) inside the web browser right now.
