    The problem with Peertube, IMO, is you can’t just “join”.

    Pick an instance, it’s locked down. I get it, hosting others video content is costly and dangerous, but it’s also a huge barrier.

      It’s best use case is self-hosting by established creators funded primarily by patreon subscribers, rather than new creators. But established creators won’t abandon the platform with their viewers. So, it’s a bit of a jam.

      Fediverse platforms also just seem terribly uninterested in supporting creatives’ business models, so we get a high minded desert.
