With Alphabet taking a hard stance against adblockers I’m wondering if devs are starting to put some focus on PeerTube? It could use some TLC. I feel like it’s a sleeping giant of the Fediverse.

I’d really love if PeerTube could become a standard, but it needs a catalogue of back content, better discoverability, and most of all, to offer financial incentive to move over. As much as I hate to say it, I think something crypto backed like odysee/lbry is more likely to become major.
There’s no payout for putting videos on peertube, and there’s not enough audience to get sponsorships. If you really want to make peertube a success, that’s where it has to start. No amount of technology will make people go from making some money to making none money.
The whole landscape changes, of course, when Youtube gets put behind a paywall or goes under. This is a when, and not an if situation; video streaming with perpetual archival is not a working business model, and YouTube’s never churned out a profit in the 18 years its been online. But twitch and tiktok will likely be where creators move to. I don’t see large swaths of people moving to even odysee in the current online climate.
