Why ? What are the premises that leads to your conclusion ?
- TheCapeGreek 6y agoNot OP, but having tried PeerTube just to see what it was about, just the usability is a pain. There's a lot of foreign language content that clogged up my front page and I'm not even in Europe for some elementary locale checking to try and match content. Then of course, decentralised streaming in this way is incredibly slow and has the same pitfalls as torrents: If there aren't any/enough peers you're screwed or just generally going to have a really bad time.
- ziml77 6y agoHaving no peers with the content you are looking for is the worst problem. Unpopular videos will just disappear.
- richardARPANET 6y agoIn short, if I challenge my mother to "Go to PeerTube and watch the video of a Panda falling over", she would not be able to do it.
- viraptor 6y agoGoogle "peertube", click the first link, put "panda falling over" in the search field - how is that different from YouTube? (Including the first step - lots of older people Google YouTube to go to YouTube) The problem is the next step because there is no video of a panda falling over, but that's not related to the peertube implementation or UX.
- wccrawford 6y agoI did that, and the "first link" is "join peer tube", with no search field. Even when I eventually find peertube.ch (Which I guess is right, because there are a ton of links on joinpeertube to other "instances") there's no videos with pandas at all there, though I don't actually know if this example was intended to be possible. I do not think my parents would pass this test, even if the video existed.
- viraptor 6y agoFair enough. I'm using ddg and the first link is to https://peer.tube/ https://peer.tube/
