I believe Peertube has support for webtorrent streaming so viewers upload the video to other viewers as well.

Ya, but unfortunately only a tiny minority of seeders use webtorrents, and peertube still has to store every video locally. Because of that, peertube instances find that they can't last long, because of the huge disk space required.
