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?

Mainly content. I've basically stopped using YouTube now since I route all of my device traffic over Tor and using YouTube with Tor is a pain in the ass. I'm able to find a decent amount of the creators that I used to watch on YouTube on a combination of Rumble and odysee, but very little on PeerTube.

Two YouTube channels I had to unsubscribe from when I left YouTube were channels talking about the United States cellular networks such as AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon, and there is not a creator on any of the other platforms discussing that content.
