The economics on this are confusing to me; if they’re hosting a “repeater”, they’re paying for bandwidth in/out, and that’s expensive.
If the streaming software is sending to multiple locations; the stability will be low (assuming folks become outbound b/w limited from their home conn).
Am I missing something obvious here?
At twitch we needed a heck of a lot of interconnecting with various providers to make our service viable.
