I've used peertube. Not a lot of good stuff on there. And I guess that's the problem with trying to vie against YouTube -- you'll always start at zero.

I'd contribute, but I don't make internet videos.

    Chicken and egg problem. I really wish that more youtubers at least trip loaded their videos on peertube. Peertube even has an option to automatically mirror a YouTube channel effortlessly.

    You can contribute differently. Archive YouTube channels or re-upload memes or video-guides.

    Hey, just a hypothetical, what's stopping me from making a peertube instance and just adding in a bunch of my favorite youtubers video collections there and letting like minded people watch them? Just the cost/data logistics?

    There's an ethical consideration in that those youtubers didn't consent to their work being on peertube.

    But other than that -- like technically and in terms of Peertube rules -- you might want to ask someone else. I don't know the answer. Sorry.

    Probably not a good idea as it risks peer tube being taken down, depending where it's hosted...

    Also risks giving it a bad rap if a popular and influential YouTuber doesn't like that...
