> Peertube specifically is unusable, has no content and has no incentive for content creators Peertube users do not need content nor incentives: they just want to publish their videos and post links to them to their audience. My photo gallery doesn't need content nor incentives for content creators either... I supply the content and my content creator incentive is showing my vacation pictures to my friends !

PeerTube is specifically advertised as a YouTube replacement.

  It's presented as an alternative to youtube for current Framasoft members and users. It's meant to be understood as “Don't put faculty course videos on youtube, which you can't necessarily rely on if the subject is sensitive, put it on your college or association's PeerTube server.” Framasoft is originally a non-commercial association of French academics. They have no desire to replace youtube for music videos, unboxing and Minecraft lives.

  > PeerTube is specifically advertised as a YouTube replacement. And about 99% of people who upload to Youtube are not concerned with any kind of incentive other than "Let me share this video". For 99% of people, it is a perfectly capable Youtube replacement (well, beyond being able to search well - a problem the whole Fediverse has...)

    > being able to search well - a problem the whole Fediverse has... I still don't understand the Fediverse's surprisingly common hostility to indexing: a publishing platform that won't let indexers record its publications - what is that supposed to be ?

      I'm not sure what you mean. What hostility?

        Lots of Mastodon instances do not wish to let indexers take their whole feed. As a result, there is no way to globally track a search string or even a hashtag. A bunch of reactionaries seems to believe that search is a privacy violation... On a publishing platform - hilarious ! Anyway, I've stopped trying and my current global village microblogging forum is Bluesky.
