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?

    Years ago Tribler was trying to create streaming via Bit Torrent. Seems like something similar could be done with IPFS. Blockchains and Distributed Hash Tables aren’t really that different.

    What does D-Tube use?

      I know that DTube used to use IPFS since that’s how I know about it, but I don’t know if they’re still doing it. I know there was a problem where after a short while every video was deleted.
