Could not it be just like a embedded? or something that works like that?

Seems a bit wasteful to have the same content stored in hundreds (potential thousands) of servers.

I believe image proxy and caching is in the works, but no proper duplication. Same for vids.

Wow this is cool! Would work similarly to peertube?

No, peertube is way more complex and as the name suggests, peer to peer. This still relies entirely on the server.

gotcha, thanks!
