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.
Not sure I follow though. Where are the hoops?
@maridonkers But that's the whole point. If I join a knitting instance for subscribing to knitting videos, I wouldn't want Call of Duty live streams popping up. There is a federated search as well, and also curated content (and instance can subscribe to other instances and channels for its own users)
But yeah, the PT UX could be improved
Well, ok, I get your point - but how to improve this?
Some video sites (universities etc) would surely not want the default search selection to be fediverse-wide.
