Matrix protocol for federation of video/channel data

[FireMasterK]

Describe the feature

We can use matrix to federate video/channel information data, geo-restriction bypass, etc.

We need to include a way to authenticate users into the system, maybe maintain a new list for this? We can authenticate matrix handles

Why would this be useful to add?

Matrix seems like a better idea than using IPFS currently, since we can actually authenticate users for data transfers.

We can get more up-to-date view counts on lesser known instances

Channel data can sometimes change - they get verified, changes in uploader url, name, etc

Concept(s)

No response

Additional context

https://spec.matrix.org/v1.4/client-server-api/#types-of-room-events

Ephemeral events, are still not a thing in matrix/synapse:
matrix-org/synapse#12413
matrix-org/matrix-spec-proposals#2477

We could have them as persistent events, and change them once they've been implemented.

We need to look at scalability, since we would likely send 100s of events a minute.
