I want the ability to have everything behind a login. I don't want people not signed in watching videos and wasting bandwidth.
You can. You can set a video as "internal only". So only users registered on the server, can watch it.
Yes but they won't federate out which defeats the point of peertube.
True, but I wouldn’t want to have a wallen garden, like Instagram or Twitter, where it forces you to create a user.
It would be instance by instance policy. I think there are many cases where an instance should only be available to users behind a login while still federating with its network.
I mean I guess this would be an OK option. Disabled by default. IMHO this is the problem with YouTube lol
