Or 'What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?'

I believe it's a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it's not a task that's ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What's Stopping you from using PeerTube?

Mostly because everyone I watch videos from is on YouTube...

But even YouTube can't show me anything new or different out there with the home page containing 3 or 4 topics I clicked on once, like 15 copies of the same content from different people, and videos I just watched.

I would kill for an overall view of what's uploaded like it used to be, but even then it would just be full of garbage.
