Lololol the videos are slop.

👌👍 Meanwhile screeching because of ads and I have to pay.

If that ain’t a deep rooted addiction I don’t know what one is lololol

Meanwhile in this thread discussion on how to steal shitty forgettable content via peer tube. Copium is real folks.

Elsewhere on Reddit/Lemmy, nerds screeching about how big tech acts as loss leaders to stifle the marketplace.

It must be an AI. One which does not know what peertube is. No human could be that stupid.

If you’re going to name it “IsThisAnAI” you might want to program it with a better response to suggestions that it might be an AI.

What irks me most is the kids content. That should have been a separate site altogether and it’s ridiculous that ‘non-kids’ content gets more strictly regulated for fear they might hear a swear word. Especially considering how much weird shit gets pushed at kids intentionally that youtube doesn’t appear to care about (looking at you elsa-gate).

You can go too deep on this one and find people who probably think it’s a conspiracy or something lol, but the gist is that YouTube used to recommend very very odd videos to kids. People picked up on this and made odd videos. It became like a feedback loop I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elsagate I just found the Wikipedia article and I think it does a good job of giving facts about it.

Edit: What I mean by think it is a conspiracy is that you might find people who think it was some sort of orchestrated act to influence children. This was around the time of the pizza gate stuff for contex. I phrased that poorly. I meant people probably have conspiracy theories about the why part of it happening, but it was actually a thing that happened.

The regulation is never meant to “protect” kids. It’s the advertisers, it’s always and only the advertisers.

Also videos that weren’t intended for kids but superficially looked like they were got involuntarily flagged as such and had their comments removed.

A separate site would have been a much better solution.

The only way we’ll get Peertube mass-adopted is by monetizing is it

P.S monetisation != ads

At least integrating PeerTube with something like LiberaPay or Open Collective would help somewhat with creator monetization. The platform itself still needs to make money somehow, which is pretty complicated with large video files and many concurrent streams in high resolution and bitrate. I think PeerTube shouldn’t try to hide the fact that it’s based on the BitTorrent protocol, maybe that way more people would download torrent files for videos and seed them on their servers or personal machines using a simple torrent client, instead of requiring them to spin up a full PeerTube instance and setting up federation.

What PeerTube is BT based 😮 Based on what you are saying, can you just seed the normal torrent files to help, or would one need their own PT instance?

What PeerTube is BT based

Yes it is. But it seems like they try to hide it from the user for some reason. This is the process for getting a .torrent file from PeerTube. When on the video page, click on the three dots, then click on Download and select torrent file instead of direct download. You’ll get a download link like this: https://tilvids.com/download/torrents/3869f4ed-ba37-42a9-9876-22ed8f364a9a-1080-hls.torrent

This is the torrent for this video btw: https://tilvids.com/w/dAeCyhu6MArtNvm6iCQD9D

I think they should make the torrent option much more prominent, and also add support for Magnet links, which are easier and more convenient to share than .torrent files.

can you just seed the normal torrent files to help

As far as I know, yes.

When you watch a video using the PeerTube web UI, you can see the number of peers in the bottom right corner, next to the fullscreen button. If you hover over it, you see how much you streamed from the PeerTube server, and how much from peers. Apparently the PeerTube web UI also acts as a torrent seed (presumably using WebTorrent), but it never worked for me (probably because my browser is always behind a VPN).

Ig that’s why Content moderation in peertube is harder and just deleting videos cant be garunteed

Or maybe making it stable with easy content discovery. Right now it is impossible to find content on it and a lot of the content is low quality to begin with.

The YouTube kids app is so incredibly useless in order to comply with government regulations that all our kids use our accounts. Which also sucks.

@P4ulin_Kbana I’m a good parent. The kids are with us all the time, if they were doing something they weren’t supposed to I’d know. Honestly, I tink I’d rather they be doing something nuferious than watching annoying kids videos, alas they prefer to watch the later too often watching other kids play scream and play with toys that we already bought that they never play with.
