Ok. So why aren't we all using peertube?
If more content creators moved to it, more viewers would switch to it to follow the content. The fact it's barely got anything on it is why most people, who only view the videos and not make them or post them, do not use it. Which the creators will turn around and say is the reason they don't use it as well; the viewers aren't there. Stupid perpetuating cycles of fuckery. 😩
In highschool, my friend group of maybe a dozen had an sms group chat. I spent months suggesting that we switch to signal, but to no avail. Eventually, I convinced one person to join, which made it a bit more convincing for another, and then a few more, and so on. Signal is now the primary means of communication for this friend group, showing that change is indeed possible. Keep fighting the good fight until the rise of these alternative platforms becomes inevitable.
Am I out of touch?
No. It's other peoples fault.
Because it currently sucks?
What sucks about it for you?
It's a little confusing for the average user, just like other fedi sites like lemmy and mastodon. First search result on google doesn't even link to a peertube site where you can actually watch videos. DDG does show peertube.tv as the first result, so thats good.
I like the idea, but for some reason on both my laptops its usage can shut down the internet connection until I reboot. It happens sometimes with regular torrents, but with Peertube it is a consistent issue.
