Many are asking me to put my videos on PeerTube, but every time I look at it, I see an overly technical user experience that I do not trust to take off.

What we need is for Mastodon to become a video platform, so THIS social medium which has now matured and people clearly love, gets robust video features.

You do not beat YouTube by making users jump through hoops to watch a video. You beat YouTube by making user sponsored creator videos turn up right in the Mastodon feed.

What we need is for Mastodon to federate with other platforms, not reinvent everything badly in its own little bubble. And, yeah, PeerTube also needs work. But consider that PT's primary innovation is federated, peer to peer *video streaming*. Mastodon would be absolute shit at this.

@osma @randahl I agree. I've been surprised how will the P2P video streaming in PeerTube works.
