PeerTube, you need to remove view counts. They broadcast to new users how few people are at this party and how lame it is, let’s go back to that YouTube party.

- southerntofu 5y ago> how lame it is How so? Just because something is not popular (yet?) doesn't mean it's lame. Also, view counts on a single instance are not representative of the entire federation. Although i agree removing view counts would be good, because it produces bad incentives to artificially inflate your view count (which i've never witnessed on Peertube instances so far, but is possible).
- emerged 5y agoIt’s not that I think it really is lame, just demonstrating the thought process of your average user clicking on a PeerTube link.
- southerntofu 5y agoAh, makes sense thanks for the explanation!
