    I don’t think you actually need to compete against Youtube to be a viable alternative. It doesn’t seem like it matters that Peertube has 0.001% of the userbase as Youtube because the goal isn’t to make money. If I want to host a video to share with people I can put it on Peertube right now and give people a link. I’d call that a viable alternative.

        I think the idea is that it is at least similar in feature set. The only part that PeerTube doesn’t have is that it doesn’t have the number of users and revenue for scalability. I’m just saying that if you had a Youtube like website it doesn’t need to compete with Youtube to be viable.
