Why is it still a struggle to find good stuff to watch on PeerTube?

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 it’s a bad thing, design-wise. I just think consumerist culture sucks.
