I enjoy PeerTube for what it is. But we have to talk about how PeerTube is I would say the one open source app that is getting the least amount of new users

So wanted to bring up some points on how we can improve it in some ways:

It is too complex with not enough up to date guides and videos on how to set it up for most people
Need new open source frontend client mobile apps to make it simpler to sign up, sign in, & watch videos/channels on it
The website for sign up is not very user-friendly and like a semi-maze for people who are new

Anything else you would like to add or say about PeerTube in general?

It's a phenomenal project and backend will of course stay the same but it needs a better pipeline of people and creators to it

Public broadcasters should use it.

They wouldn't need the development costs they now have, they could reduce server costs for anyone who's willing to share bandwidth, they could still limit it to "local/paying users" (with an account / ip addr)

They would immediately push all their content into one place and make it so much easier to use. This would drive adoption of peertube to the next level.

I know and watch one guy and that's nick. I just don't know about anyone else publishing videos. I don't see new stuff, I don't know about it. Searching for documentaries leads into the blue. He's dead jim.
