Videos are kind of rare on Lemmy, and they work quite badly for me at least.
Are there any figures (or is it even possible to know, with the decentralised approach) of ho many there are a day, viewing numbers etc ?

I know, I heard about it in 2016, but it’s still made up by volunteers so that’s why I wonder if it can take a big video-download hit. How resilient is it when 500 persons try to see that cat video at the same time?
Edit: IPFS stores data by hash which means one or just a few “neighbour” nodes will share that example cat video. It’s not super scalable IMO.
