What is PeerTube? | JoinPeerTube
joinpeertube.org
A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft

PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube’s appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

    Yeah YouTube shorts is like smoking crack (I don’t do Tik-Tok), when compared to your experience of Peertube, yours, metaphorically, seems more like teenagers trying to roll a joint of nutmeg,

      They definitely are like crack for a lot of people, I use a youtube front end when I can, and when it’s down a browser addon to remove them.

      My daughter is 18 and just a couple months ago started doing the same, after realising shorts were almost an addiction.

      Another friend has admitted she cannot stop watching them but so far hasn’t done anything about it.
