I think something like peertube would be a good solution for media, but there's obstacles to getting it deployed in terms of adoption.
The player is quite mature and does everything you could want. For servers it saves resources by being peer to peer using webRTC. For clients it handles graceful degradation and redundancy.
A way it could be implemented for other drivers servers could go like this...
I upload a video to Lemmy. My Lemmy instance forwards that video to peertube. Peertube processes the video and releases it as unlisted. Peertube sends the URL back to my Lemmy instance. Lemmy publishes my post with the peertube player iframe as a video.
The issues with this are getting app developers and instance owners to adopt the changes and getting users to understand the implications of the P2P aspect.
