Many content projects focus on "rights confirmation and revenue sharing," but ultimately users only care about two questions: Can I reliably watch my content? Will the user experience remain consistently good? Once distribution and usability start to wobble, no matter how perfect the rights allocation is, it can't support the project's scale because no one will stay active in an unreliable system for the long term.
What is the true value of a decentralized network? It is transforming distribution into a scalable, sustainable network infrastructure. The node network disperses the load, and the incentive mechanism continuously attracts participants to supply resources. The network effects, in turn, keep enhancing overall efficiency and service availability. This creates a particularly healthy cycle.
By combining the TRON ecosystem with BitTorrent, content contribution and collaborative behavior can more easily form a self-sustaining loop—community members' long-term engagement translates into long-term rewards, and the growth curve resembles compound interest rather than a fleeting traffic spike.
If you're tracking content platforms, data infrastructure, or community ecosystems, here's a suggestion: first, master the distribution layer. Once distribution is stable, the entire product can be stable; with a stable product, sustainable growth truly begins.

Distribution doesn't work, everything else is pointless. This really hits home.

If the distribution layer is unstable, everything is pointless. That's a perfect point.

You're absolutely right, this is the key point. No matter how good the benefits are, if the platform stalls for a week, users will leave.
Distribution stability is indeed a fundamental aspect that has been seriously overlooked.
This logic is completely opposite to the approach of most current projects.
Compound growth sounds great, but it only works if it can truly be implemented.
The combination of TRON and BitTorrent is interesting, but don't underestimate the difficulty of execution.
The key is to make ordinary users feel the difference; otherwise, even the best mechanisms are useless.
I'm more concerned about how long the node stability can last; this is an implicit cost.
In simple terms: experience is more valuable than incentives.
To truly make the distribution layer a foundational infrastructure, continuous investment is necessary.

If the distribution layer isn't properly set up, no matter how much incentive is offered, it will be useless.

If the distribution is unstable, don't talk to me about incentive mechanisms. It's just a house of cards.

The distribution layer is indeed the most underestimated part, and many projects have their priorities reversed.
