I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

    yeah this is a bit like musicians or authors complaining that nobody buys their CDs and hardcovers anymore.

    YouTube can kick you to the curb just for saying fuck and demonetizing you

      I mean, your preferred PeerTube instance can do the same. The major difference is there would probably be a human doing it.

        totally, but nothing is stopping you from moving to another one while still having access to the protocol. or if you can afford it, starting your own

          Moving to another one that lacks the exposure of the one you were on. You could start your own but it wouldn’t have the same traffic. It’s the same problem, just on a smaller scale.
