I’m pretty sure peertube is just a selfhosted version of YouTube that caches YT videos locally. Not an actual separate platform to upload videos to. I could be mistaken.

Partially correct. You can self host peertube instances. What differentiates it from YouTube is:

  • Instances can share their video lists with other instances via ActivityPub. Even to Mastodon and Lemmy.
  • PeerTube video player is peer to peer. You can download the video from the server directly or from another peer watching the same video. This may be helpful for livestreams.

Also its a separate okatform. Could be used to cache YT videos but that's not its primary purpose.
