Does any of this include improving the front page to actually serve content that people want? Because PeerTube has a serious problem with advertising what people want to watch on the Home and Discovery pages. PeerTube isn’t going to work as a replacement for YouTube until people will be able to find new channels that they like.

Is there even an algorithm behind any of this mess, or does it just push random channels?

Did my part.

I won’t donate now as I only do that at the end of the year, but I’m really happy about Peertube getting a good mobile app!

I really like the idea of peertube, but until it finds a way to pay creators I’m not sure it will ever be able to replace YouTube.

YouTube is as good as it is because people get paid.

The old school YouTubers just did it for fun, but YouTube was a lot different back then … and as much as I hate how aggressively Google is monetizing YouTube these days, it’s honestly a lot higher quality than it was years ago.

Most of the interesting channels I follow seem to rely on sponsorship, donations or merchandising. For specialized subjects, the youtube algorithm doesn’t acknowledge the value of the audience in terms of advertising (ex: tool brand for car channel).

Donated!

Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Edit: it was pixelfed, not peertube
