I think Peertube has a bit of a benefit here in that if they can get the SEO right folks don't really need to use the federation guff to find videos, they should just be able to find them via a regular old search engine I'm not sure I agree on the content being hidden in a dark corner, there's a fair few examples of instances and content on the homepage. It'd be nice if the "Discover more" button showed more examples rather than dumping you into a search engine but it's not terrible.

The regular old search engine controlled by a company that would lose billions if Peertube took off? No, it's true that YouTube's advantage is the same as Spotify's advantage: Discovery. It has an actually damn good recommendation engine. It fairly regularly shows me videos with less than 10000 views that are spot on. I'd love to use Peertube over Youtube, but I have to actually know of something cool on Peertube first, and finding it by searching is pretty hopeless.

  I said a regular old search engine, not the. There's more than one search engine. As for the implication that Google may boost YouTube or deboost Peertube in search results, good news! There's already a lawsuit in progress there with Rumble, so hopefully we'll see if they are doing that at some point in the (relatively speaking for this kind of thing) near future :) https://casetext.com/case/rumble-inc-v-google-llc-5 https://casetext.com/case/rumble-inc-v-google-llc-5 Latest update I could find on this: https://twitter.com/chrispavlovski/status/1727044344430166271 https://twitter.com/chrispavlovski/status/172704434443016627...
