Genuinely asking, how do you expect peertube to serve terabits-petabits of video every day? Who's gonna pay for this? Bandwidth is not free, nor are servers; Mastodon works because text is relatively cheap to serve, but video is not.
- fsflover 3y agoNobody will need to serve terabits-petabits of video every day. PeerTube is distributed, and every instance only serves its own small share. There are already instances that take a small fee for usage, so you can be sure that they will not suddenly disappear. There are also paid Mastodon instances, and I recommend to use those, if you care about your account.
