Is there anything torrent-like, decentralized way of finding new stuff ? (lemmy.ml)

I'm sorry this idea is kind of hard to explain. Like if you had a torrent, but every week or so you'd have new interesting stuff to discover from it ?

LIke a "torrent channel" but fully decentralized somehow ?

Maybe you'd just get more torrents to choose from. Large, searchable torrent archives, "this week's new torrents" ?

What about receiving news video, streams without a website to coordinate it, no gatekeeper except the digital signature of the strangers you trust ?

Like, why isn't facebook a torrent network ? Why isn't youtube, just torrents ? Facebook and youtube without having to ask Zuck and Goog for permission ?

Reminds me of pirate radio or whatever that type of thing was called in english. It would be really nice tbh

That is a cool analogy, what is the pirate radio in piracy ? Yes ! Earlier I was listening to ham radio operators and they were talking about pirate radios, some of the crotchety ones were saying to call the cops but most were like "we like listening to the pirates"
