I’m sorry this idea is kind of hard to explain. Like if you had a torrent, but every week or so you’d have new interesting stuff to discover from it ?

LIke a “torrent channel” but fully decentralized somehow ?

Maybe you’d just get more torrents to choose from. Large, searchable torrent archives, “this week’s new torrents” ?

What about receiving news video, streams without a website to coordinate it, no gatekeeper except the digital signature of the strangers you trust ?

Like, why isn’t facebook a torrent network ? Why isn’t youtube, just torrents ? Facebook and youtube without having to ask Zuck and Goog for permission ?

    Are you specifically interested in a distributed P2P social network? Maybe Scuttlebutt?

        Just a word of warning, I don’t know how much it’s actually used today. I think it had some scaling issues in practice.
