Peertube takes awhile to figure out/get going. Other stuff like Mastodon/Akkoma, Lemmy/Piefeed, were easy to figure out to the point where I just set up my own Akkoma instance on my server.
Peertube...oof that took awhile. Yeah the problem is the recommendations and search. you really have to get in there and dig through the top layer of shit before you find the diamonds underneath. There are some FANTASTIC tutorial channels on PeerTube for dev stuff, linux, game dev, etc.
Also the other problem is finding a good Peertube instance. Don't go by whatever lists are out there, it's honestly via word of mouth that you'll find the good ones which is sort of a shame. I think that's the main thing that's holding it back. for stuff like Mastodon or even Piefeed/Lemmy what instance you're on doesn't matter all that much as their all incredibly connected and pretty much provide you with the same "front end" so to speak.
Peertube? it's a mess in most cases. Some instances are super duper customized to the instance owners preferences, others are barely searchable, etc so in a way unlike other fediverse stuff Peertube feels a bit disconnected from itself

Can you give me a small list of channels producing such high quality content on Peertube?

What the other commenter said, look for these instances, especially TILvids
Other than these, some specific recommendations:
-Gardiner Bryant (gbryant@subscribeto.me) - tech YouTuber dipping toes into PeerTube
-Oh The Urbanity! (ohtheurbanity@video.canadiancivil.com)
-ASMR of the Fediverse (asmrfediverse@peertube.wtf) - self-explanatory, ASMR videos specifically produced and release on the Fediverse. Exclusive high-quality content!
-Making Waves/Roots and Calluses (makingwaves@video.katehildenbrand.com & katehildenbrand@video.katehildenbrand.com) - personal/professional blogs of a marine biologist Kate Hildenbrand, both very worth a watch
-Veronica Explains (veronicaexplains@tinkerbetter.tube) - a very cute and non-typical Linux channel from a veteran tech enthusiast
-Films (films@fedi.video) - old but gold public domain films
-Historical Shorts (historical@fedi.video) - some more tapes from the past

Difficult to recommend specific channels as I don’t know what you’d like, but I’ve found high quality content hosted on these instances :
Other creators host their own instance. For example there’s @ozoned doing interview of fediverse people at video.firesidefedi.live

Take a look at !peertube@lemmy.world (or the links on the side) and look at Top. Maybe you will see some channels you would like.
And if your on piefed, you can take a look at https://piefed.social/f/fediversevideos, lots of great channels!
