BitChute sounds interesting but will people want to be sharing their data quota by sharing bits of torrents from mobile devices. I think you watch and share your bits at the same time.....(like popcorn for pc and mac).

I think you have a valid point. Torrents do go both ways. Its a great solution for computers vs mobile devices. There is a thread started where someone is trying to get Bitchute to make changes to there code to allow it to integrate with steemit. I guess they are also trying to convince bitchute to monetize their site to work with steemit. This is a great idea and that's why I began the search. Here is the thread:

When I discovered Vid.me I thought I had hit the Jackpot and double whammy to get paid for video content and blog content, when embedding your video into Steemit. Unfortunately this was not as easy. Here is the link and the story:

I discovered we are limited by Steemit Coding. I will still need to investigate Patreon and see if the Iframe will work there. I do not think of Patreon as a substitute for Steemit, however if it allows the iframes then they may be competition in the short term.
Basically it seems to me the best way to go about this is to simply ask Steemit and Vid.me to agree on security protocols and allow the Iframe. For security reasons they are willing to allow Iframe from 3 companies already. So its just a matter of permission. This would require a 5 minute fix on the part of Steemit and no significant changes would be required to any of the platforms. Bitchute would require too much work when a simpler easier solution is available.
It's possible that you're neglecting something essential in the factors relevant to content provision. Torrents allow decentralization, and make it unnecessary for the site to store and stream the content, meaning the servers necessary to create the site are tiny and inexpensive compared to a service that must store and stream the content from their site.
For this reason Bitchute offers potential unmatched by the competitors. This is not to say that more traditional service models are impractical, but that they are orders of magnitude more expensive, and any site that hosts and streams content centrally is prone to censorship.
Torrents, by their decentralized nature, are inherently immune to censorship.
