oh look, another web service who wants to strangle its users for money and ad views :D when's a peertube instance going to get some big creators on it supported by viewers? that'll do it, i bet
Unfortunately most people post to YouTube. They might not know about Peertube. So Peertube just doesn't have the content.
Here's to hoping as lemmy, mastodon, etc. get name recognition peertube gets their time of day too.
You basically get how it works. The tech isn’t there yet to replace YouTube.
From the documentation:
A PeerTube instance can mirror other PeerTube videos to improve bandwidth use.
The instance administrator can choose between multiple redundancy strategies (cache trending videos or recently uploaded videos etc.), set their maximum size and the minimum duplication lifetime. Then, they choose the instances they want to cache in Manage follows -> Following admin table.
Videos are kept in the cache for at least min_lifetime, and then evicted when the cache is full.
