It’s kind of silly, but I still really dig the idea behind torrenting and peer to peer sharing of data. It’s cool to think about any old computer helping pass along some odd bits & bytes of data, whether a goofy drawing or strange story.

I don’t think they do it anymore, but spotify started out with a p2p network on the backend.
Super smart way of bootstrapping such a thing without having to upfront huge server costs.
Took it out ten years ago. It was super smart, and there are still situations where it would be helpful, like when a new Taylor Swift album drops that takes the service offline.
