peertube is cool but it won’t be able to kill YouTube in a million years

    This is not necessary. It can simply provide an alternative, free platform for people who need it.

      GP was stating that YouTube needs to die and you said PeerTube is the alternative that can kill it - unless I misunderstood something.

      I think PeerTube is great but it’s always going to be super niche. If it grows to a level that threatens YouTube I am sure that it would also change/exert economic pressure.

        PeerTube might kill YT, but definitely not very soon. However before that it can replace YT just for a tiny minority that needs it the most, which is a good step forward.

        It's the same as with GNU/Linux. Did it kill Windows? No. But it doesn't matter for me, since I abandoned Windows many years ago.
