NewPipe let's you add PeerTube instances in the app. I always felt like it would be a good way to get people to switch since you can have YouTube add free plus whatever other instances you want altogether. That being said, you still have to get them over the fdroid/obtanium/sideloading. And with the changes coming to android it would be tough. But wouldn't having an app you can have something like Mastadon + other garbage social media a person wants together, like how there are (were?) single FB/Twitter apps help with the conversion? This is probably sacrilege to a lot of fedi users if its even still possible with all the APIs being locked down (Reddit!!!)

It's a vicious circle.
People don't use other video services because there aren't much content.
Content creator don't upload their videos to other video services because there aren't viewers.
People don't host video sites because of how demanding and not profitable it is.
YouTube doesn't break even. Google runs it at a loss just to have that advantage.

Weird. I've been using the main newpipe branch on fdroid for about a year. It crashes out sometimes after I've been watching for awhile but a force stop usually fixes it. Or YouTube will change an api and it needs updated. I guess that itself is a no-go for a lot of users though

You downvote youtube links because they're not peertube.
I downvote youtube links because they're videos without a text synopsis.
We are not the same.

It costs content creators almost nothing to upload to PeerTube in addition to Youtube. Shifter and Oh The Urbanity! manage it; why can't others?

I check if the video is licensed under creative commons and mirror it to peertube.

Weβre not passengers but participants, let us not be complicit in feeding the beast.
I run two insignificant communities for posting vids. Gotta post YT to have something, but I try to find alternatives and encourage others too.

PieFed automatically offers a piped.video link for every YT post.

And hosting lots of videos is expensive
