It's hardly ever used by anyone, but it's an open-source alternative to YouTube. It has several instances and whatnot, but I wonder if anyone here has used it.

Personally, no. As much as I'd love to, the problems people talk about ( discovery, lack of content, etcetera ) kinda keep me away.

It was a similar problem for the short stint I was on odysee before dropping that platform. The comments on certain videos from someone I watched basically calling him an Indian n-word didn't help keep me either, but that's a bigger can of worms I'm not jumping into.

I think the closest I've come is watching a video on a furry instance on dead furry conventions. Otherwise, I wouldn't even know if there's anything that would really appeal to me.

Sadly, until we get bigger creators onto the platform, even as just a backup solution, I don't think adoption of Peertube will gain much attraction outside of niche people in the grand scheme of internet usage.
