P-Peertube?

Not a great alternative. The second it becomes actually successful it will collapse.

peertube would be great, if there were more content creators. out of 330 or something channels that i follow on youtube, 4 are on peertube.

4 out of 330 is quite a lot. Are they tech youtubers or something?

[–] furzegulo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago

yeah, linux-oriented youtubers

I've tried it. Every server i choose is either slow af, has no videos or the videos just stay at 00:00.

Not a great experience.
