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?

What if I'm not manufacturing content, what if I just have things I want to say? Why can't we have one fucking platform that isn't monetized?

Sure. Absolutely.

But that's not what this thread is about and that isn't what I was replying to. If you want to start a thread saying "Why PeerTube doesn't need to grow to be a great place." knock yourself out. I agree with you.

But this thread specifically is about, and I quote..

...possibly even becoming a serious alternative to YouTube?

And for that, you need monetization.

Stay on topic.
