I really want to love peertube and use it but the transition is hard. I feel bad for “wasting” server space and compute and when I view the video on peertube I’m making my favorite creators gain less traction on YouTube which directly affects their income and growth.
Give what you can and if you can’t it’s also okay.
I’m only giving 1$ a month to the Linux Experiment, but, according to him, that’s way more than what he would get from me watching his videos on YouTube.
I’m also donating 100$ a year to many open source projects, but I might have to give up because of financial troubles too…

Honestly, I’m murdering the productivity of every channel I watch anyways with uBlock origin and sponsorBlock, so I don’t think it’d be much worse
Some of them can be supported through Patreon and they’re getting way more money than through YouTube.
But it’s through that it lacks content and it’s also difficult to find content on peertube.
PeerTube has a search engine : https://sepiasearch.org Does that not work well ?
It needs a recommendation algorithm. Search is simply not enough to find videos you may like.
Search would be enough if it had the content library of YouTube.
I still have to really try it, but last time I typed « PlayStation » and there was almost no result…maybe it’s just the lack of content though…
Hmm, I’ve tried, 251 results found: 244 videos
I was talking about channels, reviewing games and so on.
Not the odd homemade video…
Something that you could follow long term to keep being informed, like IGN or gamespot for instance.
I would give so much money to Patreons if I wasn’t broke myself 😅
