This is great and I appreciate the push to move content over to Peertube. There are a lot of issues with youtube that go beyond just ads. There is a huge moderation problem. For one, there are so many fake DIY videos now. I used to go on there to learn how to do things, but seeing the devolution into ad-supported content that exists soley for the purpose of monetization, spreading completely false information to people is really sad. You can't trust anything on there. None of it has been vetted by people who know what they are talking about at all and there is no reasonable process for removal of such videos. At least Peertube, you could change instances or if you run an instance you could defederate from bad actors on the platform. Peer Tube is an amazing platform and is incredibly under-utilized.
