I really wish this would gain some traction. As it is, there is just not enough content there to compete with YouTube in any reasonable way.

Well the problem here is that youtubers need some type of monetization too for compensation. Idk Peertube can solve this without ads.

Paid subscriptions per month, you watch the newest video for free. Have the youtuber host the server themselves for their own videos and federate that access.

Would incentivize more evergreen content too.
