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?
@troed
1. I cannot watch your video inside the Mastodon client app I am using. Instead I am forced into another platform with a different UI.
2. I cannot comment on your video without going through an additional authentication process on a different platform.
3. The comments are not visible under your post here on Mastodon.
4. I cannot become a financial supporter of your content.
5. I cannot see suggested content from other Mastodon users at the end of your video.
etc.
