A free software to take back control of your videos! With more than 600,000 hosted videos, viewed more than 70 millions times and 150,000 users, PeerTube is the decentralized free software alternative to videos platforms developed by Framasoft
PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.
What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

I think the following has a good chance of working:
- YouTube does another fucky thing and messes with people's revenue. Again.
- Some big YouTuber decides to host their own peertube instance (funded by patreon) for their content. Either on its own or as a "backup".
- People go there, and other YouTubers follow seeing that it doesn't have YouTube fuckery. Either to the same instance or another.
- YouTube continues to make unpopular decisions, meaning more and more people go to Peertube and it becomes engrained in public knowledge.
Basically, "YouTube fucks up a bunch enough for people to try to move".
