The WebRTC ability built into modern browsers allows for peer-to-peer web connections, as opposed to the old client-server model. There is a new service just released, designed to provide an alternative to the increasingly restrictive practices of YouTube. Bitchute streams videos between peers, but it does it within the browser, using WebRTC, and requires no special app to be installed.
This is quite a big deal, as it allows media to be provided without centralised control, and at zero cost (the bandwidth costs are essentially distributed to everyone using the network, and are individually trivial). This will be followed by entire websites that have no central host, delivered peer-to-peer, but are accessed just like normal pages in the browser.
There is not much of interest on Bitchute yet, but I think these are very interesting developments, with a growing revolt against the major social media platforms.
