  Peertube needs monetization and the ability for people peer without self-hosting. A torrent client of sorts.

  The product, in it’s current form cannot replace Youtube. Youtube gives you traffic, a free place to host even your crappiest footage, and money if enough people start watching it regularly.

  Peertube isn’t free, it’s just someone else footing the bill, which breaks under load.

    Seeing the number of dead torrents, it’s highly likely that many videos will quickly die as well

    But it would be nice to have a way to seed.

    Problem with all federated platforms: which one should people pick? Most instances don’t federate with others

      Ideally, everyone would just post their own stuff from their own disk. As things got popular, the fans would cache it for others. We’d just need the self-hosting angels to help us with discoverability.

      Realistically, a quick death is probably a fortunate way to save resources if a video can’t gain traction from being useful or entertaining.

        The vast majority of videos don’t do well so… that means this solution won’t work for most people
