I know some things about both, but im still confused for some reason. Like what is the difference between peertube and youtube, which is better?

I was thinking of getting into one of theses for video creation but im not sure which would be better as a sort of hobby? also do i need a powerful pc or a good microphone to get started? is it better to record with or without your voice?

Feel free to add on to this, but please be kind.

A search engine for it was released (or at least promoted to me) recently - should be helpful for that: https://sepiasearch.org/

Yeah I think the problem is that I cant find many videos I like. I searched and found a few creators that I watch on youtube but not really enough to get me to keep going back

Yeah, I looked around and unfortunately couldn't find that much either (except for a few specific niches).

Honestly though, if peertube semi blew up the same way mastodon / lemmy / kbin have I think most of the hosts would shut down in the process. Anything but short videos are hella expensive to store and distribute en masse compared to text + images. Video might be one of the things that can only survive if mostly centralised for now.
