Maybe it could be seeding on Desktop only?
I doubt many people would agree to that even on desktop PCs.
I think it would be better if there was a lightweight and easy to run headless relay that people could host themselves to help out struggling Peertube instances.
I could see them just having this as an option in a native client application. It could even let you pick and choose which instances, creators or videos you seed, perhaps even a "Seed This Video" button on the next video endscreen.
I think that less people would agree if it was a sort of "black box" of seeding, but I reckon a lot more people than you would think would go for it if they get to choose.
