I know, the platform isn't ready, the platform needs more creators, the platform has technical improvements to do...We could have said the same for Lemmy before the Reddit blackout, the same for Mastodon on Twitter.

The main limitation I see at the moment are PeerTube instances, badly communicating, from what I've been able to realize, and there are no reference instances as it was for Lemmy.

Some peaple here are too focused on the actual paradigm, instead of supporting new ones. We should also consider a few points:

  • You can keep your core business wherever you want but still having your second home at PeerTube, and maybe upload exclusive content to it (donations and Patreon-like services are still the main gain for many creators).

  • Most of the uploaders on YouTube are very little creators without gains, they could actually have a chance to differentiate theirself from the masses on a potential new platform.
