I am confused to what your saying?
I have a few hundred “subscriptions” on youtube channels trough invidious (no google account), are you saying i can mirror others people uploads trough PeerTube cause i am changing in a heartbeat to any inch further away from youtube that still allows me to watch my favorite creators.

Mirroring is more for your own content, unless you get permission to set up an instance to mirror others’ content like the numerous mirroring channels on PT.

Thats what i though.
My suggestion is to maken clients (preferably invidious) accept other sources and comes from a consumer standpoint.
I don’t want to lose the creators i follow, i want them to migrate away from YouTube.
Creators themselves may not want to migrate because they will lose new upload hype Income from youtube.
Releasing on youtube (or floatplane) first while mirroring older content to peertube seems ideal to create slow and steady momentum where:
The creators get to keep the existing upload hype and income while also building new presence away from youtube.
The audience gets to consume their content of all creators from a singular place and possibly can set preferences to use the PeerTube mirror as a source when its available and the youtube source when there is not.
