    "PeerTube is an experimental decentralized federated video platform system that uses peer-to-peer technology to reduce load on individual servers. It's released as free software under the AGPLv3.0 licence. Started in 2015 by a single programmer, development of PeerTube is now supported by the French non-profit Framasoft. The aim is to provide an alternative to centralized platforms such as CZcams or Dailymotion." From PeerTube's Wikipedia page.

    I have been slowly moving my presence; I have both a CZcams presence and a PeerTube presence. I post on both while prioritizing the federated version instead of the CZcams version. I have LBRY, as well, though since it uses blockchain technology, Gods forbid I was asked to take down a video. I prefer navigating the fediverse when I can, though I still use CZcams for the time being.

    When the average person has a question or wants to search for something where do they start their search? Odds are it's either CZcams, a Google search, or a Facebook search. That's a tough cycle to break. Sure we know that Duck Duck Go is an option and places like Peertube are out there, but 90-95% of people have no idea. Even if you build an objectively better tool, I don't know how you get the word out that the standard way is not the only way.

      What it's going to take is some youtubers with content that is compelling to the main stream adding exclusive content to another platform. "And if you like that, there's more over on my..." That would get the word out.

      Creators should promote alternatives more if they think it would be benneficial to them.
      Create some exclusive content that only will be available on the alternative site.
      They all do it for patreon, why not for an alternative they support. Monopoly is not good for creators nor consumers..
      Even if only tech related chanels would do it as they should understand better why it is important i think. Nothing wrong with a techbased (or another niche) video site. More smaller sites is a lot better.
      Kinda like twitch which is mostly geared to gamers and only features gaming related content.
      If youtubers get together and collectivly make a push for a different platform i am sure the chances for succes are not as bad as everyone seems to think.

    What we need is a Fediverse search engine, and then an extension for say, Chrome, or Edge, that allows for searching across both. Searx can do this, I think, but we still need the fediverse directory in order to make searching the Fediverse easier. we have a couple, but not enough.

    Honestly, CZcams is a great service. That's the problem. It's awesome. The bad part is Google's creepiness, their heavy handed approach to censorship (which is totally understandable and its an incredibly difficult problem), their lack of quality control bloating the website, and their power. It's certainly a big pickle.

    Peertube is lacking some monetization through views, even though some of the instances have some pretty strict ideals and won't run ads out of respect for its users not everyone can afford hosting. Speaking of ads, did anyone else get a Suse ad before the video played? I usually skip ads but I actually sat down and watched it since it's a bit funny how a previously reviewed distro ran an ad for its enterprise edition.

      Hosting is cheap though. It becomes expensive if you become really big and need a powerfull vps or dedicated server. but at that point you should really have an income stream build up, or ask your viewership to contribute. They allready do trough patreon, use that money for hosting if you dont wanna do ads.
      You could start hosting at home at first even until you have a few thousand subscribers, then move to a cheap vps offered on hosting forums. Eventually you can move up to big hosting when you actually need it.

    The peertube software is now great. Its popularity is now up to us. Actually the popularity of the software is not the thing, but the freedom from big tech serfdom is. You create content terrain on their planet but they own it because its their planet. You are a serf on these big tech platforms and they can switch off 10 years of work in an instant. Peertube is the answer to big tech serfdom. We need a swarm of little tech entities to overcome big tech. But no individual entity needs to rival any onr of the big ones. Strength in numbers (of content deployments).

    Twitch could easily kill CZcams if it offers more privileges for the content creators and if it adds a CZcams-like video platform. By now, Twitch only cares about livestreaming, why not purely offline video uploading? A lot of CZcamsrs have opted for Twitch due to limitations, censorship, content quality, low privileges on CZcams.
    I personally wish that Twitch becomes a CZcams alternative.

      Twitch cannot easily cannot easily challenge CZcams! I use CZcams as an extension of Google's search engine, I use it often as my primary search resource. I am aware of other search engines, but they are not up to the quality of Google. I feel comfortable with Google, even though I am aware they monitor my searches, my emails etc. Twitch is ok, but I find the platform cumbersome. CZcams has a far better chance of vanquishing Twitch, than the reverse. We are already familiar with the benefits YT, and the Google ecosystem is second to none. I even appreciated aspects of Google+, it added value to other Google products, but it was poorly presented. I am looking forward to what Google Stadia offers, I suspect it will be the prime Twitch rival.

    My biggest gripe with the Fediverse (Peertube, Pleroma, Mastodon, Friendica, etc.) is that there is no easy way to monetize the service, with ads for example. I would love to see ads on these platforms, that would entice people to setup servers and lower the cost of service.
    And the reason why Google are the biggest player when it comes to ads on the internet is simple: they have the best ads. They're short, well targeted, skippable, not intrusive.
