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.
As long as artists need to support themselves in a capitalist environment it’s not reasonable for us to expect them to share their content freely. If we increase the amount of those small walled gardens then big corporations are no longer in control and we can rethink how we can compensate their work but it’s not fair to skip this step.
