      The Internet used to lack the bandwidth for actual Internet use. Let’s go back to html and small css files at most for private websites.

      I used to do everything on a 2400 baud modem (though admittedly it sucked pretty hard until 28.8k).

      I suppose the use case would be for journalists, distributing banned books, and so on - pure text-based information. However, video footage is extremely useful in today’s media environment - how many current events do we see first from some tiktok or twitter video, rather than nightly news?

      Yeah I wasn’t gonna over explain but the intended use here is not live streaming. I’d go for a mesh trickle request and wait for it to download to your local node type of thinking.

      Patience.
