How many people work on YouTube, Vimeo, ... the platforms themselves, as opposed to promotion, monetization algorithms, marketing, etc? PeerTube actually works really well, and as long as communities come together to help with support/promotion/... I don't see why it couldn't "challenge any of the incumbents" even with only one developer on staff.

At Youtube, there's gotta be hundreds of engineers.

hundreds? try thousands.

Is there a good search engine for peertube content? I feel that's the big problem now. Browsing random instances, I found a lot of (bad) porn, some anarchist concerts, tech tutorials in languages I did not know.

I made a search for "music" in sepiasearch.org, assuming this should be broad enough to get something interesting. The top result has 9 views. I can filter by "popular".

Look, I understand that Youtube's recommendation algorithm is problematic, but I need a way to find relevant content. "Sort by views" should at least be an option.

It almost makes me want to build a crawler and search engine for these.

Thanks! You should try to get a reference in framasoft sites, it is really useful! I could not find it while googling for peertube search. You should try to get some references up.

Question to Email: What are you doing to curb the ever-growing number of white supremacists using your platform?

Your initial response was confusing. You should've just said: "Email them your question," or something to that extent. Regardless, I get what you mean.

I think you got it wrong :)

He means that the same criticisms of white supremacists using a platform could be leveled at the protocol of email.

The choice to maintain 80 projects and not grow beyond 10 employees is puzzling to me. Those two decisions seem antithetical to each other. 80 projects is too many regardless

Welcome to the Free Software movement. I invite you to check how the GitHub page of some core contributors of some projects.

Guilty as charged

I was excited about seeing an alternative to YouTube. I'm getting more and more worried about the content YouTube shows to my kids. But I was so disappointed in the various peers i went to and the content there. Surely there is good content that doesn't rely on monetizing it as YouTube does. I realize getting kids' content is going to take effort that requires funding somehow, but why aren't there good technical disc…

This instance seems alright [1]. The 'about' page says it's run by a single person for their own kids.

Also try PBS Kids:

You could use youtube-dl to curate content:
