    Sites like this are a non-starter for me until and unless they make seeding whitelist only, so I have control over what I seed like I would with regular torrents. Because otherwise random users can and will end up unknowingly participating in the hosting of child abuse materials, nazi propaganda, and so on. I think this alone makes it nonviable as a youtube alternative at scale.

    I’ll take youtube’s privacy violations over that any day.

      You are only seeding the video you are currently watching in the browser or that you downloaded via torrent.

      So you do not participate in sharing unknown videos.

      You seem to misunderstand how PT works.
