Peertube is already just as good in terms of performance, it does need more content and better discoverability for sure

Does that performance scale once the user base matches even a fraction of YouTube? Probably not.

It uses P2P so I don't see why not

I don't think you can judge performance in an 'apple versus oranges' (pop usage) scenario though.

That's not my point though. My point is how much capacity versus how many people are using the service.

You're trying to equate the same level of capacity when there's different levels of usage.

Finally, how you implement the tech is as important as the tech itself, as it can be done either well, or poorly.
