IPFS, why haven't we seen video streaming services? (hackertalks.com)

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?

What I read a while ago was that it had too high latency and/or not enough speed to run video streaming for Peertube. It seems like there's been some work done on getting Nix(OS) working over IPFS, and they asked about it on their latest community survey, but idk how much they're focusing on it.
