 Could we bittorrent something like a yewtube?
https://github.com/mps-youtube/yewtube 
 Would be pretty cool. I think the concept would be the same, just with a Terminal interface.

I think the concept would work better for large creators/influencers/movies but for small creators without seeding followers or paying for seeding it wouldn't work so well 
 For the small creators to have a voice to their followers (equal or above the larger), itd be cool to have WoT's prioritise the new users first 100 connections via a relay, then maybe if you wanted your content in 4k yes you'd pay 
 The problem would still be that someone has to seed the torrents. Maybe it'd be possible to build a torrent client that signals he has the file available but only seeds it is paid for. Would be cool to have an incentive for seeding but still keeping the unmodified bittorrent protocol below for compatibility. This way infrastructure could emerge by itself mhh
I hope something like this will be built, would love to stream some ecash for a torrent 
 I left out the most important part; the relay(s) would be seeding all the torrents. Probably impractical but This is interesting yes I'll keep thinking more on this

Great idea to get the ball rolling 💪
