The China-centric video sharing platform is expanding with a new international app and an English version of its website – with no identity verification (for now at least)

    Thing is peertube is still pretty much new and empty. I didn’t find much content that I would be interested in or even an interesting community. Although I see its potential as a social platform I don’t think it will ever replace YouTube (at least for me) as it wouldn’t give creators the financial incentive to use it.

      The financial incentive is a big part of what ruined YouTube in the first place, so the lack of it is a W in my book. If a creator really is that good, I’ll support them directly.

      These things take time. Depends on instances. There are audience for YouTube. I am happy to bet on Peertube.
