I think the problem is just the massive storage costs of holding lots of video. Youtube is king because anyone can upload whatever, at any amount, but instances of peertube have to monitor their usage closely.
I was uploading to one only for vtubers, and they said they had enough money for 6months or so without dono help, but one month someone attacked or something and just ended up consuming videos at a repeated and huge enough rate that they got a surprise bill that was just too high. They also near the end had to turn off better streaming encoding because it was bandwidth heavy.
Peertube is Fediverse Youtube.
Indeed. All that’s keeping Peertube from achieving popularity is… popularity.
Definitely worth joining Peertube and publishing some videos. Get the community going more.
(This from someone who hasn’t yet published anything on Peertube. I’m working on it. Promise.)

A Mastodon account I follow made a thread of recommended peertube channels, for people looking for stuff to watch over there.

Is it any good or just a weird mix og trans people and communists?
