I’ve used it and like it except I noticed that it apparently has a lot of 3rd party trackers. It apparently tries to send data to many 3rd party companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Twitter.
I’m not sure why it needs to send this much data to third parties, but it makes me feel a little turned off by this app.
A lot of people in this thread talking about how it’s not feasible because content creators wouldn’t get paid and I agree if you expect that same quality of content.
But I think peertube opens the door for a lot of the more organic content of just people sharing interesting/entertaining/educational videos with others without any expectation of being paid. I’ve already watched some really good videos on peertube that feel a lot more like the old days of YouTube.
If you’re really serious I would first recommend you familiarize yourself with the needs of blind users generally. Like try using the internet with your eyes closed and a screen reader to understand how a blind person would interact with a website. Maybe you can ask around or Google some tips for getting started with that.
I had a former coworker who was a UX designer and he taught himself to use a screen reader for this reason since he was required to ensure anything he designed was accessible.
If you edit the URL and remove everything before reddit.com and the change it to old.reddit.com you can view it without the app
This is very cool. I’m looking forward to seeing the progress!
