It needs to start with the illegal route and just upload all of YouTube’s content on there, then gradually start paying content creators for their work, and become legitimate. This is how crunchyroll got big.
Load it to what? Who’s going to pay for all the bandwidth and storage. How much are y8u willing to host? Peertube is never going to take off because it well cost users and people like free.
Just add “decentralized web3 mining” somewhere in the page and crypto-dipshits will host the shit out of it. No actual cryptocurrency nor even a whitepaper required.
You’re right, but I dream that one day enough people will realise that the “free” model is shit and be willing to pay.
I’d love to support a content producer on peertube who hosts their own content - the proviso being that their content is engaging enough to want to watch.
I upload my videos there. Started off because professor wanted us to record ourselves then I just uploaded whatever. It’s not much but it’s honest work.

PeerTube. Except nobody’s going to use it until everybody uses it.

People like free as in not having to put in your credit card. But they don’t mind seeding, as evident in piracy.
That’d require a bit more knowledge than the average YouTube user has, unfortunately.
The users – it’s all bittorrent.

Kind of bootstrap paradox
It’s called network effect

PeerTube doesn’t have the allure given by the chance of getting paid for what you upload
you can still get paid but you’ll need to make your own revenue stream.
…PeerTube!
