I just can't get into using Peertube. I love the idea, but in my experience, it just doesn't work the way it should. Slow, low video quality, hard to get the federation working properly, and most importantly, a general lack of content creators I care to follow.

I stick with Odysee for this, and several other reasons.

Consider using Grayjay, you can combine creators from various sources to one app. Including YouTube, Peertube, Dailymotion, Odysee and lots of others.

I subscribe to some people on PeerTube and Dailymotion (only news orgs) alongside my Youtube subs, so that I am not only relying on YouTube

I do, but the desktop version is still barebones compared to FreeTube or the Odysee webpage. It's great on mobile, though!

And as for Peertube, I guess part of the problem is that it doesn't feel as connected as other Fediverse services seem to feel. Not sure why, it just feels really disjointed to me.

I don't think PeerTube will take a significant market share or become a lot more popular until it gets some sort of monetization scheme in place. Maybe if bandwidth for 1080p is basically free in 10-20 years.

Just a friendly headsup about Odysee. You are probably aware already and are selecting content carefully based on this, but Odysee hosts a lot of content that is considered disinformation, hate speech, far-right etc.

Dude.. you had my upvote indtil odysee!

I don't know if I need to ask, but what's wrong with Odysee?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

It's mostly unmoderated so you have the extremists channels there who are banned from the mainstream platforms. Also it has a reputation for being a platform to whitewash/launder money to said extremist persons or organisations

So in other words you're bragging about how stupid you are ?? Did Odysee trigger something in you ? Do you have a special kind of PTSD ?

[–] cosmicrookie@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago

You kind of prove a point
