      I’ve used peertube. Not a lot of good stuff on there. And I guess that’s the problem with trying to vie against YouTube – you’ll always start at zero.

      I’d contribute, but I don’t make internet videos.

        Hey, just a hypothetical, what’s stopping me from making a peertube instance and just adding in a bunch of my favorite youtubers video collections there and letting like minded people watch them? Just the cost/data logistics?

          There’s an ethical consideration in that those youtubers didn’t consent to their work being on peertube.

          But other than that – like technically and in terms of Peertube rules – you might want to ask someone else. I don’t know the answer. Sorry.

        Chicken and egg problem. I really wish that more youtubers at least trip loaded their videos on peertube. Peertube even has an option to automatically mirror a YouTube channel effortlessly.
