I'm a pretty tech savvy guy, and looking at the instructions on setting up a PeerTube instance (which I guess is required to even watch videos let alone upload) already turned me off. I can't imagine a creator wanting to film a few videos would want to learn the details of setting up and maintaining an instance.
- wutbrodo 8y agoI might be missing something, but I'm not sure where you got the idea that you need to run an instance to watch videos. I did a cursory Google with very little prior knowledge of peertube, and their main site seems to have links to instances (like. Framatube.org) where you can watch videos through a web browser.
- myself248 8y agoYou're kidding, right? I'm watching a video on peertube right now and it took literally one click. Nothing to install, the user experience is just like YouTube. https://tube.4aem.com/videos/watch/42aee781-e58a-4ffe-829e-c6eaad24f9da https://tube.4aem.com/videos/watch/42aee781-e58a-4ffe-829e-c... For instance.
- voltagex_ 8y agoWhere are you in the world? What's your connection like? I'm on a 100 megabit downstream (95 nominal) connection in Australia and there are often videos on Peertube that won't load at all for me. YouTube is peered with a local Akamai node or with my ISP and is nearly always instant. The user experience is not like YouTube.
