Q. lf we know someone who could host videos over Tor, could that help you? Is the software Tor/clearnet agnostic?
A. it might be an abuse of the #tor network to stream videos over it as it has limited bandwidth and is run on a volunteer bases. It would be a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons please have a look into the pros and cons of this as am interested.
Some answers from a brief search:
Q. under what circumstances Tor can handle streaming video?
A. What Tor can’t handle is lots of people consuming lots of bandwidth simultaneously. There’s no clean way to load balance and everyone is at the mercy of independent relays.
A. We’ve been saying for years not to run BitTorrent over Tor, because the Tor network can’t handle the load
Interesting most people talk about security/privacy and only respect for the commons as an afterthought – this is clearly a #geekproblem

Q. I2P is run by volunteers and encourages the sharing of videos. The internet is a Commons and depends on trust, not just Tor. ISPs have Fair Use policies etc. If not Tor maybe this person can share over I2P.
A. This one kinda fails one of the #4opens – open “industrial” standards. Only people who went through the process of installing bad UX code could watch the videos so not a good outreach project. The is a resion we are building out a OPEN media network. Worth thinking about this issue “It easy to keep crossing wires with “media” vs. personal. Media should be open, with clear sources, except when protecting them. Whereas personal data should default to private”
