The main value of youtube for many of us is the enormous video collection, which is impractical for anyone else to duplicate. Need to fix an old washing machine (I did, recently)? Type in the make and model and there’s an instructional vid. It’s unfortunate that Google has exclusive control over such a resource, but here we are.

I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

Same issue as Lemmy. Not enough people see centralized media as an issue and thus the status quo will continue.

Joined PeerTube last month and have had great success with it in terms of as a platform and place to share art / content, though of course the views have been low.

I’m sure there is a megathread elsewhere but would love to see an acceleration of folks adopting the Fediverse. My talking point has been to sort of sell Fediverse alternatives (Lemmy, Pixelfed, Mastodon) as superior to other big tech alternatives out there (such as BlueSky and Flashes). We are either at the vanguard of a mass migration or just migrating while no one else is intending to, which I guess amounts to the same thing!

I just can’t get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn’t work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.

I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.

Wow, someone should make a bot for awareness or something.
