https://peertube.lon.tv/ is down :/
And I don’t know why people think “monetisation are ads”. It’s nearly the first thing that came out of his mouth when talking about money. It feels like the facebook et al have just redefined what it means to monetise something and people assume it means ads. However, all it means is “to make a profit or derive income from” (dictionary.com). Ads are nowhere in the definition.
Nobody is talking about it, because it doesn’t have a central front page for the videos with a global search box. Like this it’s just a fancy video hosting software, nothing that stupid masses can use.
There is SepiaSearch, but yeah, it specifically poses itself as just a search box, because a centralized front page is antithetical to decentralization…
Yeah, without the ability to search in a useful way, it’s useless for a viewer that isn’t already aware of a specific instance and its contents.
That isn’t about stupidity, it’s simply that it’s useless for the kind of viewing YouTube is.
thecool.tube isn’t approving videos :c
wow they instance still runs of 3.0.0 version of PeerTube.
I fully support this. Unlike Rossmann’s platform, this isn’t scraping YouTube and reposting videos without ads. This is a genuine competitor to YouTube using a decentralized network. Great! Keep it up! If I were a creator, I would definitely use this. The peer-to-peer aspect of it is fantastic, especially for live streaming.
