sexy_peach,

without a way for instances to find content easily without having to know about the creator before hand discoverability will be shockingly bad.

Instances index videos from all instances that they follow. So if a big creator uploads to a server that’s already “friends” with yours, it will show up!

sexy_peach,

I don’t think that peertube can offer the same amount of video storage to newcomers, that yt does. But it should be easy to host peertube with a fraction of the income (from patreon, in video adverts) that big creators have.

But maybe we’re wrong and it will work, there’s plenty of servers out there that anyone can upload to.

sexy_peach,

That’s what I’m saying, someone already has to follow, you are then relying on the other people on your instance.

No it is a different system on peertube compared to lemmy and mastodon. The server admin has to “follow” a server and then all content from that server will be listed in search and the timelines.

I am not saying this is ideal though ^^

sexy_peach,

I agree it might not be a good solution long-term.

sexy_peach,

I don’t have a perfect solution. They either have to find a server that gives them a home or they have to figure something else out. At the moment there are lots of servers and not a lot of uploaders.

Also it is possible to host peertube from home. With yunohost, it’s pretty easy. New people will only get a couple of views which is doable with a home connection.

They could still start on yt, like today. But if they have a following, they might not like all the YT restrictions.

sexy_peach,

Thank you I was surprised by the negative reaction here. I thought people on lemmy were interested in alternative solutions to big tech

sexy_peach,

Yeah unfortunately it’s not a viable replacement at the moment.

sexy_peach,

You could try makertube.net/about/instance? There’s even a lemmy thread about it: feddit.de/post/3348355

sexy_peach,

PeerTube will not replace youtube.

I didn’t say it would. Mastodon looked vastly different when it had its first wave of users. Peertube will look very different in the future as well.

sexy_peach,

I didn’t mean that the average user will migrate to peertube. I meant that tech savvy people who share peertube’s values might join.

Lemmy isn’t easy to use either.

sexy_peach,

Mastodon might never replace twitter but it’s still a cool platform with a similar use case.

sexy_peach,

yaay, me too. I try to watch some of the content there and upload some :)

sexy_peach,

I disagree. I believe that the problem is that if you upload videos there they don’t automatically get a few views. Peertube basically doesn’t have an audience.

Earning money with Youtube already is very hard, you need large amount of viewers and it’s not enough so many youtubers resort to adverts and product placement within their videos.

Peertube actually has a https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/237d749e-e870-402a-83bb-de392458f237.pngbutton that creators can activate. If a user presses it they will see a popup with markdown formatted text where the creator can put their affiliate links, patreon, paypal and whatever they like. I think it’s a very neat solution, since it’s unobtrusive for the user and very flexible for the creator.

sexy_peach,

Cool, can you share the channel?

sexy_peach,

Awesome

sexy_peach,

Imagine buying a computer with only two ports.

sexy_peach,

aaah, innovation™
