PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.
What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube’s appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?
Why does PT have to be a place that creators get paid? Yes, that is essential if we want peertube to TAKE OVER THE WORLD. But what is wrong with providing a platform that ISN’T driven by content revenue along side YouTube? Those creators have needs that aren’t being catered to elsewhere.
Then expect Peertube to be more niche as no one wants to post to it.
okay? it’s meeting my use cases, tell me why I care?
The discussion is on how to get more people to use it.
Nothing is wrong with that at all. But you’re never going to get enough content to increase your total subscriber base as long as your creators have to spend most of their time working other jobs.
What if I’m not manufacturing content, what if I just have things I want to say? Why can’t we have one fucking platform that isn’t monetized?
Sure. Absolutely.
But that’s not what this thread is about and that isn’t what I was replying to. If you want to start a thread saying “Why PeerTube doesn’t need to grow to be a great place.” knock yourself out. I agree with you.
But this thread specifically is about, and I quote…
And for that, you need monetization.
Stay on topic.
