No you will still need to host Peertube on your server or VPS etc not even sure why they call it PEERtube because it's clearly not peer to peer. What I'm talking about is a decentralized peer to peer streaming tool like Stremio (uses torrents) but instead of having movies, we could have you know small/average lenght videos like youtube, and also channels and so on.

Whatever happened to zeronet? Wasn't that supposed to do that with many services as well as the whole thing in general?

I'm guessing it just never got enough users.

Last release was just over 4 years ago and it seems it never truly recovered after that. While there other options they are either bad (IPFS) or lack publicity to catch on (DAT/Hypercore)

Sadly it's been practically dead for a long while now.

But PeerTube is peer2peer, literally in the name. Every PeerTube video is automatically a torrent.

My bad it actually uses a combnation of hosting and peer to peer. But still its not fully decentralized as I was suggesting. Peertube instances need to be hosted and videos are uploaded to the instance and kept in the instance storage. So its not dully decentralized. Its actually more centralized than not it seems.
