It won't gain traction until there's content on it people actually want to watch. The best app developer in world could make a Peertube app tomorrow, and it wouldn't mean anything to the 99.999% of people who aren't interested in watching 2-hour seminars about Linux kernel.
That too.
It kind of goes both ways too, doesn't it? Like, the consumers aren't going to flock to the alternative platform without good content creators already there, and the content creators usually want to stay on whatever platform will get them the most views.
Fuck google.
