If you could improve PeerTube, what would you improve?
-
-
- Most people who submit videos do it because they enjoy it, not to start a career (or at least it doesn't begin that way).
- Most creators at this point have sponsor-spots in their videos. That's still monetization they control.
- Donations are a thing. Both to Framasoft (Peertube developers) as well as direct to the creators themselves. This still makes up a large portion of creator income.
- Personal sales. Lots of creators have their own products these days. Some of them are novel and others are high quality.
- Affiliate links to product promotions.
Peertube makes it really easy to promote whatever you want in the "support" button.
So really the only thing they're missing out on is adsense. Which, fuck Google. And is only a small (but not insignificant) portion of their income.

We had vidcommons.org once, that hosted a lot of CC content. Unfortunately the owner couldn’t afford to keep it running.
If you now a source of CC videos, let me know.
-
There is an index maintained by Framasoft (devs of PeerTube), but it is something the servers need to enable. A lot don’t.
-
https://sepiasearch.org/ is already integrated into the app.
-
What’s a mainstream instance?
-
That's cool and all, but I don't use an app, nor should I be expected to download software just to use a website. I use my browser.

There's Sepia Search, but I don't really understand why that's not just built into the Peertube UI itself.
-
Better federation with eachother, a way for monetisation.
-
Yeah
in some instances it is, but it's usually broken.I especially wish i could actually interact with those videos from my account, such as liking or commenting. There are three types of instances: no sign ups, outdated or no content on them.
-
Better federation and search. Make it easier for content creators and instance runners to monetize. Make it easier to script your own feed/recommendations.
All of the above is true for all software on the fediverse.
Seems like the only ones who really benefit from PeerTube right now are right-wing extremists. The only large Swedish instances are far-right. And they are big because of content supply and demand.
-
It's mainly finding videos for me. I've been able to find a few interesting ones, but largely it's either difficult to find, or not there at all. I myself have actually been considering making some videos to help the content drought, but then the ideas, or knowledge of what people could be receptive to doesn't quite come.
also as a newpipe user, being able to search all of my selected instances at once, or with sepiasearch could be nice, but thats not up to peertube
-
I thought about uploading videos, but I could never figure out how.
-
Improve cross instance search and for more creators to move from other platforms
-
A custom bubble time-line like Akkoma has would be nice for Peertube indeed.
-
Liberapay is centralized but it is open source.
-
And you can use your browser to click that link...
