Just about everyday I see at least one person ask someone who is posting a YouTube link to a video that they made, why they don't post it on #PeerTube ?

And to me, the answer is obvious. They want to get paid.
Which to me, is fine. I get it. They put a lot of work into it, they would like to be compensated for their time.
What I don't get is how others don't understand this before they ask the question?

@Mrfunkedude I think this answer is a little trite, tbh, and the actual answer is one that FOSS-oriented folks like even less.
PeerTube is not the same experience as YouTube. It doesn't have the same audience, reach, engagement, user experience. It has been, in my experience, kind of a pain to use to find interesting videos and engage with them.
Whether I like open-source and decentralization more than locked-down, proprietary platforms doesn't make PeerTube a better platform. It's still not as good a place for creating, discovering, and engaging with video.

@lovemakeshare PeerTube is a lot like early YouTube before monetization. Most of the people using it are tech oriented and a lot of the videos are utilitarian rather then entertainment focused.
Although that is changing over time as more people join.
And yes, search needs to be improved. No one wants to go to a different website to get a better search than the instance they were just on. (https://sepiasearch.org)
PeerTube is not YouTube. It's like comparing Disneyland to a busker.

@Mrfunkedude
I have a little Danish Prepper/Gardening channel on YouTube, got 1500 subs, alot considering the language and niche.
Its not enough to get monetised, so I make zero money.For privacy reasons I made a copy on Peertube. The result, more engagement and people actually buys seeds from me, to support the channel. (Same offer on YT)
So from a purely economic view, I made more money on Peertube than Youtube.
I guess alot of niche Channels are in my situation, where YT dosent pay them anything.
