Let's say you want to send a large file over the web (+20 GB) to only one person.

Wouldn't it be convenient to have a service that sent the file over WebRTC (sort of like ShareDrop but across the web) directly or do you believe that this would this be a service that wouldn't have any use?

For those not involved in the whole streaming scene, Kick.com is a huge rival to Twitch and they recently paid an insane amount of money (read $100M) to sign a contract for a streamer called XQC to stream on their platform.

I headed over to their site and saw that the user was doing their first stream and had >60k live viewers so I was curious to see where they were hosting their servers and when I looked the IP up (99.181.66.216), it said Twitch to my surprise.

Now I'm honestly baffled and are they somehow exploiting Twitch's embedded player to serve the content from them (do not that this streamer [XQC] is not streaming on Twitch at the same time, at least not using his regular account).

This is honestly the only theory I could come up with, but this shouldn't even be possible since CORS should stop it, right...?

Anyway, immensely excited to see if anyone here on HN knows what's going on because seeing a rival stream using their competitor's servers is mind-blowing to me.
