Peertube is often very hard to load within MPV and you are exposing all of the visitors IPs to each other.

That's the tradeoff. Who do you trust to be able to something nefarious with your data? One random person on the internet being able to see 1% of the videos you watch (the ones where you peered with them) VS one giant conglomerate being able to see 100% of the videos you watch?

> you are exposing all of the visitors IPs to each other. For whom it may concern: This would most likely be a violation of the GDPR for users from Europe. You'll have to state this in a cookie notice if you can't change it.

  That notice is already built into peertube. It was mainly developed in France.

  PeerTube shows a banner the first time you use it.

    I just checked out your instance and the only time I saw a warning banner was a tiny little thing at the bottom of the screen when your video was already playing with me connected to 2 peers. No accept button, not even an opt out button. Is that the stock install or did you add autoplay or something? I'm not sure I'd trust that to cover me under GDPR. It's a bit late by then. Also doesn't GDPR require active opt-in consent rather than a "here's what we're doing" message? Seems a bit brittle.

      That is stock install. Anyway, from what I understand, the GDPR doesn't apply to my personal website because of https://gdpr.eu/recital-18-not-applicable-to-personal-or-household-activities/ https://gdpr.eu/recital-18-not-applicable-to-personal-or-hou...

        I wasn't trying to catch you out fwiw, I was evaluating my own potential use of Peertube. I'll stick to YouTube for now, they've got a vested interest in not tripping over GDPR. I'd definitely spend more time trying to custom build a consent interstitial than making videos haha
