    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.

      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.

      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.
