Admittedly a risky crosspost, but cannot find conflicting community rules. I believe the possible discussion justifies it.

Or 'What is PeerTube lacking that you simply cannot do without?'

I believe it's a safe assumption that fediverse users want to move away from the monopolies and closed gardens so often associated with video streaming, and yet it's not a task that's ever been made easy. Maybe an ounce of inspiration is the cue we need, and so my question to you is; What's Stopping you from using PeerTube?

PeerTube doesn't have the videos I want to watch. All the people I want to see upload to YouTube. I don't like it either.

That said, I use ad nauseum and sponsor block extensions on waterfox. I see no ads and ad nauseum fakes clicks so Google has to pay creators for ads i didn't see. If I like a channel, I'll buy their merch or donate to their Patreon to support them. There's an argument to be made that my use of YouTube results in a net loss for Google while still supporting the channels I like, or at least not harming them.
