Re: PeerTube 5.1
#2PeerTube is a decentralized and federated alternative to YouTube. The goal of PeerTube is not to replace YouTube but to offer a viable alternative using the strength of P2P and WebTorrent protocols.
Being built on ActivityPub means PeerTube is able to be part of a bigger social network, the Fediverse (the Federated Universe). On the other hand, P2P technologies help PeerTube to solve the issue of money, inbound with all streaming platform : With PeerTube, you don't need to have a lot of bandwidth available on your server to host a PeerTube instances because all users (which didn't disable the feature) watching a video on PeerTube will be able to share this same video to other viewers.
If you are curious about PeerTube, I can't recommend you enough to check the official website to learn more about the project. If after that you want to try to use PeerTube as a content creator, you can try to find an instance available there to register or host yourself your own PeerTube instance on your own server.
The development of PeerTube is actually sponsored by Framasoft, a french non-for-profit popular educational organization, a group of friends convinced that an emancipating digital world is possible, convinced that it will arise through actual actions on real world and online with and for you!
Framasoft is also involved in the development of Mobilizon, a decentralized and federated alternative to Facebook Events.

#3This is pretty exciting.
I was recently browsing some old saved playlists of mine on youtube. Youtube had 'updated' them to be effectively the same recommended playlist it always offers me.
Its sad and scary that what amounts to an archive of a generation of creativity is effectively only being rented by the people who made it so. Relying on youtube as an archive of some of the Internets greatest content is concerning giving Googles unfortunate track record of managing, well, all of its products.
It seems inevitable that someday yt will die. However and whenever that death shapes up, I hope the creatives of the world have an opportunity to use something like this (or other alternatives like floatplane) to back up their content. Yt is an amazing thing, and too valuable to leave in the hands of google.

Is there a solution to being liable for distributing illegal/immoral content as a peer on PeerTube? That's what's keeping me away.

yt-dl and a batch file that I run with Task Scheduler every day has brought me some relief with regard to ephemeral content on youtube. I also grab the subtitles and throw them into a database so that I can find a video by something I remembered they said in a certain episode.

Wouldn’t you only distribute illegal/immoral content if you were watching it? You only distribute things you yourself are streaming.
