A really vibrant YouTube alternative. I'd love to never use a Google service like that again.

I've never used peertube, but I heard it's getting pretty good.

However, after considering hosting a peertube instance, I can see what a large actor such as Google can bring to the table for resource intensive services, such as video hosting

100% I don't know how (if) a federated system could really handle the volume of data that YouTube does.

Peertube does the job to share videos, if you don't plan to monetize, and just upload content for 10 friends, it might be the place to go

I'm a rabid (addicted) watcher so while Peertube definitely works it just doesn't have the same amount of content on all random niches. Very cool project though.
