Way to kill your platform. Sadly there’s no big competition

    Hopefully this motivates a competitor to emerge.

    The difficulty isn't in developing a platform, but in actually hosting the videos.

    Videos are huge files, and Peertube instances will have to make do with pennies in donations while paying for massive amounts of storage if they actually gain a userbase.
