And there will be even fewer users with a bad or lacking interface. It certainly does not solve the problem, but it helps reduce barriers for entry for new users.
It’s a chicken and egg issue for sure, but I think you’ve got the wrong egg.
Nobody will create content on a platform with few viewers. Nobody will be a viewer on a platform with few content creators.

I mean that’s true but I don’t think that’s part of the chicken and egg cycle, as you can improve UX before getting users too

Is the egg not income or does peer tube pay creators now?

Income and viewers are the same egg. You can put up sponsor segments but they’re no good if nobody is watching.

I think they need an application that simultaneously posts to YouTube and PeerTube. So creators can effortlessly post to both the existing platform with all the viewers while also adding content to the alternative.
Similar how OBS can stream to YouTube and Twitch simultaneously.

The channel sync is awesome and very stable.
Most of the creators on Canadian Civil use it. The issue is if you just dual-post you don’t get the benefit that PeerTube offers of a place to test and reupload your video.

That does sound like it would help.
