What’s the state of IPFS?

I remember a few years ago there was excitement about using it to back video distribution but that seems to have fizzeled out.

Is there any video streaming service using IPFS?

Is the IPFS network growing? What is the best way to see the health of IPFS?

    There’s this project: https://watchit.movie/#/ https://github.com/ZorrillosDev/watchit-app

    I never got to try it, but they are doing exactly what you want it seems. I don’t know how much of their backend they have open-sourced, though. I definitely need to research this more.

    They do have a matrix channel and a fediverse presence, so they already look quite alright from the start, and the project is very interesting.
