Think you are confused about what it is, it's a piece of software for hosting videos. Might be worth reading the frontpage https://joinpeertube.org/ https://joinpeertube.org/ . As an example, blender has https://video.blender.org/ https://video.blender.org/ with blender videos. It's kind of like mediawiki is wiki software but it isn't wikipedia. The part which seems to be confusing you is that these platforms can ( don't have to ) network together to make a larger apparent platform that has some resemblance to youtube. Having said that, the actual platform is kind of meh in terms of UI design. It does look like a very budget youtube clone as if it was a "learn to make a youtube clone in 1 hour using html css!"
