What I don't get is why spend the effort dealing with YTs shit just to increase their userbase when we should be focusing on shifting people away from YT and into decentralized solutions like PeerTube anyways?

The people who-would shift away are users, not creators and currently the major issue with peertube is lack of content. Along with the fact that finding an instance which allows for signups and is federated with good, discoverable content is impossible currently.

I keep trying though and eventually I'm sure I'll be able to switch

I signed up to the main instance ran by the French company. It appeared that a single video hadn't been uploaded in 2 years and I couldn't find how to see videos from other instances.

The entire service needs a redesign if people are going to switch.
