Yeah PeerTube is cool, but it has its own set of issues. 1. It's very expensive for an individual to run an instance 2. The federation mechanism doesn't really work 3. It's just too fragmented to replace YouTube due to that fragmentation 4. The search is horrible, also because of the aforementioned issues. I am aware that Sepia Search exists, but it should be built in to PeerTube itself. In general, it's not very friendly to new users. The entire UI/UX could use some improvements.
