Dlive incorporated tech from Theta Network for the decentralisation aspect. I don't think it was 100% decentralised in all aspects, but that part for the peer to peer component was.

Thats true. Swatting can still happen and be anonymous, but, if you have the IP addresses of anyone viewing a specific stream, it's possible you could do some form of contact tracing. It's not a scientific approach and admittedly, I doubt that would happen in most instances (except maybe where someone was shot/killed). Also, not a guaranteed approach when someone could use a VPN, etc.

The ToS situation is definitely a problem. Furthermore, the DMCA situation about music and threatening streamers using h copyrighted music with suspensions and bans, that was pretty shitty as well. They gave streamers no specifics and gave them a couple of days to download, edit or delete their videos.

I think Dlive proved that decentralised or not, even signing up the biggest name in online content to an exclusive streaming deal that competing with Twitch is impossible. Only Google and YouTube can compete, even so, it won't be easy. Microsoft attempted the same thing with Mixer and even Mixer failed,despite being a better streaming platform (in my opinion).
