A free software to take back control of your videos

Peertube is an open, federated alternative to Youtube without advertising or tracking. On this site, you can find a good Peertube instance, with good rules, good moderation and most importantly a friendly community.

In 2018, a platform was launched to build an open, decentralized web for videos. In 2021, the network is still struggling to grow. I take a look into some of the problems with content discovery, along with some small suggestions for instance admins.

Easy, there's no advertising money incentives on peertube. People who put in the most effort aim for sponsorships, and sponsors aren't looking at peertube.

To succeed, peertube would need to leverage leftist mutual aid networks to get community funded videos and livestreams.
