I really like the idea of peertube, but until it finds a way to pay creators I'm not sure it will ever be able to replace YouTube.

YouTube is as good as it is because people get paid.

The old school YouTubers just did it for fun, but YouTube was a lot different back then ... and as much as I hate how aggressively Google is monetizing YouTube these days, it's honestly a lot higher quality than it was years ago.

Most of the interesting channels I follow seem to rely on sponsorship, donations or merchandising. For specialized subjects, the youtube algorithm doesn't acknowledge the value of the audience in terms of advertising (ex: tool brand for car channel).
