I think Peertube is more of a Vimeo alternative. YouTube is built around advertising.

    Really? And here I thought they were all video platforms. Youtube advertising is just an added layer of enshittification.

    I'm guessing maybe they meant that the people uploading to YouTube more often than not are hoping to make money from it. Or even if that's not what they meant, it is definitely a big difference between platforms.

    Sure, I was being slightly facetious to make a point about the issues that Peertube solves. IMHO the most valuable part of Youtube is the one Peertube replaces — videos.

    The Youtube advertising that people seem to make money off is the part I already do my damnedest to avoid with third party apps and front ends. Peertube solves that as well.
