Forum Voices
Some users praise PeerTube for its potential to reduce video watching time and promote more meaningful content.
Personally, I find the lack of videos to watch on PeerTube a huge plus. I tremendously reduced my weekly video watching time and I don’t feel like missing out on something important.
However, others point out the difficulties of creating high-quality content without adequate monetization options.
As a professional YouTuber, the main issue I instantly see with this is the lack of monetization. I think people who don’t make videos for a living severely underestimate how expensive it is to produce high-quality videos people want to watch.
Technical Aspects
PeerTube’s P2P sharing technology is an interesting feature, but social factors also impact its success.
PeerTube has some interesting technology with the P2P sharing between users who watch at the same time. But with these kind of projects I think there are unfortunately social factors that impact their success as well as technical factors.
