Right now it's not just decentralized. It's fractured. It should operate as decentralized, but from a performance standpoint it should feel like it's centralized.
Remember, most normies won't know or care what decentralized even is. But the reason sites like instagram have users isn't because it's centralized. It's because that's where the content is.
Peertube is suffering HARD from lack of content. Which is why you want celebrities bringing exposure to the fediverse. They bring content.
Go outside to a popular public place and ask 100 people in person how many people have heard of the fediverse. I'd be SHOCKED if 1 person knew what it was.
Now get a popular youtuber like markiplyer, or good mythical morning, to post their stuff exclusively on peertube, and suddenly 2-6 million people all flock over and create accounts.
