Are people blind on PeerTube? (slrpnk.net)

I read many comments on how PeerTube isn't sustainable as a YouTube alternative and, while it's certainly true right now, are we sure it will be the same in the near future?

The platform is growing and the new mobile app is making great progress; I can certainly see some people investing in a major instance some day, accelerating the platform adoption.

What's the issue with the team?

OP didn’t get his feature request.

Yeah, I'd like to know as well, I thought Framasoft was pretty well regarded?

I've seen their code and how they operate. Seems legit to me but I'm a bit biased.

Sorry to take what seems like such a strong stance but they don't have what it takes to build a successful YouTube-ish platform imo. This is based on my experience in the field and my observations of their output over the years. I know it sounds like a cop out but I don't have the time to discuss further rn.

Honestly, I'd be happy to learn that I was wrong. I have and will continue to root for any federated YouTube competitor. I just don't think it's going to be from FS.
