I'm curious: if I were to upload to my own hypothetical PeerTube website, would anyone be interested in watching my videos there?

The beauty of PeerTube/Fediverse is that you wouldn't need to make a new account or visit the site regularly; you can follow from Mastodon or similar

@LittleshyFiM hi! I use YT most of the time, it's more convenient for me even if it has ads (I haven't paid for Premium yet)

I find PeerTube kind of slow, but I don't watch it regularly 👀
