I love the idea of peertube, the technology works, but getting it to gain traction is impossible. There's this catch 22 of no view => no content => no view which is really hard to break. And where VC funded platform can buy content to kick start the process, this one doesn't have any mean of kick starting it.

Maybe we should raise money to pay popular creators to publish on these peertube instances.


Compare to YouTube it has almost no content, like what if I want to see a gameplay of Balatro.
