@drq I think the main problem with YouTube alternatives is the history. Can you name some other video platform where I can just go and watch some random kid play gmod in 2008? There is so much content that YouTube is literally a time machine at this point. You can solve all technical problems of peertube, you can invest billions on development, but it will not replace 20 years of continuous uploading of new videos.
YouTube can't be replaced whether you like it or not. We have to find a way around the restrictions and make them as accessible as possible
