#2So, I'm reminded of the old 'store your files on youtube' thing[0] and I wonder how much bandwidth one could get using the same concept on one of the widely used voice conferencing solutions (like zoom) to further blend in. Bonus if you can do some kind of video steganography to transfer the data and have a 'real' call.

#4Not sure how new this is but very cool that users can host a node simply by toggling an iframe or installing a browser extension. I wonder if these methods have much lower bandwidth limitations than the CLI version

#5> If you switch on the Snowflake below and leave the browser tab open, a user can connect through your new proxy!
I am not even sure, if I am getting this right. If I embed an iframe in my website, traffic from Tor users will get tunneled through my user visitor's IP? How does consent works with relay.love? Does my website vistor's IP show up as TOR exit node?

It not an exit. But by default someone has to knowingly run the Snowflake applet but webmasters could modify the code to automatically essentially start a Tor guard in someones browser. Though, that would be very evil to abuse someones resources like that.
That example has the users consent before starting.

#7If Tor is illegal in your country, it seems pretty risky to try to use it. Since anyone can run a snowflake proxy, it would be a trivial exercise to just log connecting IP addresses. Then it's a gamble with vanishing odds of staying safe each time you connect.

That would be amazing. If that worked regardless of network, though, I can see people setting up a node and accidentally taking it to work or some other public network by mistake. I’m not sure if that’s better or worse than using it in a persistent connection.

That's already how many shady VPN software work. Remember if a VPN is "free", you are the product. Web scraping companies pay $$$$ for residential and mobile IPs.
