#peertube I'm researching where to start.

@tokyo_0 wow yeah I have zero knowledge about that. I'm more of a creative choatic geek, not the techy kind
@chuls Just had a quick look at options. It looks like Fedihost (https://fedihost.co/pricing) offer managed PeerTube hosting from $6.99 monthly. Elestio (https://elest.io/open-source/peertube) start at $14 monthly and look a bit more customizable but also a bit more technically demanding. There were one or two others but these looked like the strongest bets.
It'd be worth asking around to see if anyone would recommend either of these providers for PeerTube, or any others I've missed.

@tokyo_0 hey, thanks
I'll keep an eye on this -

I'm researching where to start. some first person feedback from people actually uploading videos to a peertube platform?I'm in the process of creating more of my own stuff and trying to figure out what makes sense to use and for what. I work with YouTube creators, it's kinda my daily bread.
I'm looking at everything PeerTube atm and it all seems a bit clunky and tbh a little impractical? happy to change my mind though.
@chuls I use Peertube, what would you like to know?

@SunDancer @andijah ah ja, da hab ich gestern eine Anfrage geschickt
@chuls Das hat einen Moment gedauert bei mir, bis sie mich geschaltet haben aber seit dem alles töffte.

@woe2you I think I'm interested in how people use it, what their experience is with views and engagement, and if there's a comparison to the big platform I'm happy to hear that too. not super specific questions, I suppose. I'm kinda collecting data to give me the whole picture

@chuls I've been uploading videos to peertube for a year or two now. What do you want to know?
I don't find it clunky and impractical, but I also do not see it as my duty to convince you it is not, so not sure what you're after here.
Little experience with youtube, but that I found clunky and impractical. Nowadays, I don't bother with youtube at all. I don't watch youtube, I don't upload to youtube. I find youtube a bit creepy. If it's not on peertube, I'm not watching it.

@chuls I know @ewen makes use of it: https://makertube.net/c/ewen/videos

@chuls I use it as a backup, because I'm trying to move away from Big Tech in general. I can't comment on the views or engagement, I don't do statistically significant numbers on either platform. I don't find it particularly clunky, though processing uploads takes a while because it's running on CPU.

@chuls @woe2you I have a peertube channel where I publish videos on a regular basis and then I have a few personal channels as well that I publish irregularly on. I do host my own, but I don't do anything fancy with it.
If I look at some of the more well established youtube channels that have a presence on peertube it seems they're getting a lot less views and engagement compared to the evil platform.
I'm seeing more views than I expected when I started vlogging on peertube but I wasn't expecting much to begin with
If you want to make money with your videos then I'm not sure peertube is for you. I believe there's some experiments with monetisation, but peertube is not really a capitalist platform with algorithms and ads and creepy tracking and all that crap.
I've only recently started vlogging and made a conscious choice to only do so on peertube, because I believe peertube provides a future I want to see. Youtube does not. That's the most important thing for me, not engagement and views. You may have different considerations.

@peter_ringholm do you perhaps have any experience to share here? I know you run both YouTube and PeerTube in parallel.
