PeerTube is fantastic with its decentralized model that prioritizes user privacy and control. However, it still struggles to gain widespread popularity.

What do you think could be done to enhance PeerTube's appeal and functionality, possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

that might be me. Ive been pushing as much as possible on /c/video peertube stuff. Whenever I find it.

One of the best and worst things about peertube is that the suggested videos side of things that youtube has isnt a thing. You can search based on hashtags but getting the same fix like youtube is very hard. Its also good in that most creators that are on their are really interesting/dedicated to their craft. And copyright isnt really a thing on peertube, so music/videos/etc....are a LOT better. At least for a time.

This is probably the video? https://lemmy.world/post/15969866?scrollToComments=true

Copyright absolutely is still a thing, the network is just under the radar at the moment and the people who could be suing over it don't have visibility on usage of their stuff. But, make no mistake, if it ever gets big enough to get noticed, those people and corporations will absolutely sue.

You are correct, I guess what I mean is that its not being enforced all that much.
