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

That’s all nice and good but I think it needs mainstream creators to get on board and start publishing there. Though, since there is no financial incentive on PeerTube it won’t work.

I’m wondering would integrating with donation platforms help. Can be normal domains or some system which helps instance hosts too. I have sorta “top up and donate to content author” system in mind.

They could integrate with Liberapay if they do donation of any kind.
