The thing about peertube is… It’s actually a tough one to run for non-profit. I run an mbin instance and it’s fairly easy to afford the hardware to host that and securely back it up.
But for peertube, you need storage, and realistically you also need backup for all that storage. That can be pretty costly unless you self host. In which case even with fibre your home connection will be hammered.
And now storage is being eaten by data centres in their quest to force yet more AI slop on people in order to keep the bubble going just a little longer before the inevitable collapse.
Well, thankfully, since on peer tube, your video is shared between all the peers currently watching. If your video gets super popular, your connection isn’t actually hammered all that badly due to the fact that other peers are also supplying bits of the video for people.
As for the storage though, that’s a very good point.

Video content eats storage like nothing else.

Yes, I am wishing I bought a spare drive or two for my home array. When one fails it’s going to get costly now.

2H video @ 1080p/60fps = 6.3gigs
Is that available for TVs?
