Looks like its over for me and youtube. Being told I cant watch because of an ad blocker.

Where is everyone moving to and using instead of youtube? I will just move to the same place.

    Peertube is like early Youtube - people making videos for whoever might happen to be interested, without monetary incentive. Plus a lot of crazy mixed in.
    Now I generally avoid all “free” commercial services that expect you to pay with your data or by watching ads.

    If I want professionally made content, I have to pay real money for it, because making that content costs real money.
    But there’s also still lots of people out there who make content for the fun of it, and it’s equally fun to explore that.

      I want to like it but… It sucks. :/

      I would love if it didn’t. Lemmy for example does not suck, neither does mastadon. But peertube… It sucks.

      It’s not the fault of the service. It sucks because the content is just not there. So it’s people’s fault for not using it, but of course they don’t, since the users are not there.

      I checked it out last night. I really wanted to like it, but man, it sucks. There’s currently very little content that I like and it seems to be a lot slower to load and navigate than YouTube. Even when i found something that I liked, the video kept buffering and buffering. It was overall a horrible experience. And i tried a couple instances. They all had those issues.

      Can’t say there’s no crazy mixed in on PeerTube either lol. And as much as I’d love to like PeerTube… There’s just nothing that brings me back, content wise.
