When I tried it in the past, I kinda didn’t take it seriously because everything was confined to its instance, but now, there’s full-featured global search and proper federation everywhere? Wow, I thought I heard there were some technical obstacles making it very unlikely, but now it’s just there and works great! I asked ChatGPT and it says this feature was added 5 years ago! Really? I’m not sure how I didn’t notice this sooner. Was it really there for so long? With flairs showing original instance where video comes from and everything?

    Best you can do is ask some of these content creators to also post their videos to PeerTube.

    PeerTube has built-in syncing of YouTube channels, so it’s fairly easy once it’s set up.

      Why would they do that without any monetary incentive at all?

      I mean, I guess what I’m saying is if you can post to YouTube and get paid, why would you intentionally choose to post to PeerTube and not get paid?
