In 2018, a platform was launched to build an open, decentralized web for videos. In 2021, the network is still struggling to grow. I take a look into some of the problems with content discovery, along with some small suggestions for instance admins.

Easy, there's no advertising money incentives on peertube. People who put in the most effort aim for sponsorships, and sponsors aren't looking at peertube.

To succeed, peertube would need to leverage leftist mutual aid networks to get community funded videos and livestreams.

I don't think that's a bad thing. PeerTube's goal is to be a sustainable video hosting platform. It has not had a goal of popularity.

I don't think it's a bad thing, design-wise. I just think consumerist culture sucks.
