I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

    totally, but nothing is stopping you from moving to another one while still having access to the protocol. or if you can afford it, starting your own

      Moving to another one that lacks the exposure of the one you were on. You could start your own but it wouldn’t have the same traffic. It’s the same problem, just on a smaller scale.

        that’s totally valid. I don’t really use peertube and so my question is, since the program doesn’t have that many users anyways, how many creators are relying on getting views from their own instance? I thought they just advertise their channel to outside platforms
