Technically, if I understand correctly, one of the thing going for peertube is that it allows you to survive [insert any popular forum]'s hug of death. Some website don't even handle a surge of connections when it's just text. With peertube, most of the time, you're serving directly from your website, but in case of virality, the video will be distributed across most of the simultaneous viewers.
