I don’t see how there’s anything special about it from a liability standpoint. The main advantage I can see from it is simply not supporting google. And yes, there are definitely other options. Does people making competing solutions to problems surprise you in some way?
I mean, I wouldn’t dev it, but I see no valid reason to criticize whoever wanted to.

Except, again, it is not a competing solution. I often point out the stupidity of arguing that Gimp is at all comparable to Photoshop except… this isn’t even something that is useful for a hobbyist to do touch ups. There is basically zero use case barring providing tools for companies to base their products on. Because the cost of video hosting is just not something people are willing to pay. That is WHY youtube became a thing.
As for liability: Go allow open uploads of videos to your server. And let me know how long until you see a ten year old getting gangraped by a bunch of guys in masks. The “joke” was always that if you had an un-secured FTP you would get a LOT of free porn and… that is what you get. Because people are monsters.

Yes, I was saying I didn’t see how the liabilities of video hosting with peertube are any different from any other local video hosting.
Regarding GIMP it sounds to me like you just don’t like it. lol You’re entitled to your opinion, it’s fine. Why you find the need to leave your review here is beyond me though.
