#peertube I'm researching where to start.

@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.

@chuls I use Peertube, what would you like to know?
@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

#peertube
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'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 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.
