Youtube isn't an open source website, right? While Chromium is an open source browser. Google doesn't really make money directly off browsers anyway more so over their services, they can afford to do open source projects like Android and Chrome os.
See the problem with despite googles intention of protecting their own ads is that now users in theory can't block all of Googles competing ad networks due to the limited filter rules.
If one server goes down youl have to switch to another but peertube will continue to work. That's the advantage.
Or use both platforms with Peertube as your main.
Tends to vary server to server, Mastodon has similar issues regarding that.
A good work around is to use Sepia Go which tries to search all instances for content. But of course their could be a few that go by their radar.
On peertube depending on the license the uploader chose you are able to just freely download the video to your device directly from the instance no addons/extentions required on desktop. This option won't always be available, but is on most uploads. Just be sure that it is actually their content or covered by fair use or you might still face copyright issues.
If its their content he should just be able to reupload the clips.
Interesting. Did any change since then? Regarding it going away.
Also unrelated, your user name reminds of a Youtuber I use to watch.
Of course i'm not saying internet users have to use it. Or that it has to completely replace Youtube or other streaming services in its complete entirety.
Here is why internet users should start using Peertube, no matter how much or less they use it than Youtube. Simply letting them know it exists is key.
Peertube is essentially an interface with a varying amount of instances hosted by volunteers that all build up the bigger Peertube federated service with all the videos. Unlike alternatives this makes it more likely to be around long term.
it has the highest chance of other video user generated content services being around for years to come due to being federated. If Youtube shuts down good bye to alot of that years worth of content. If a peertube instance closes down only a smaller portion of videos would be lost, but that doesn't close down the entire program because all the other instances in theory would still be feferated.
It's open source meaning less chance of seeing ads on or by videos when not using an ad blocker. Donations are always encouraged to help fund the servers. But not required.
Summary:
-
longer lasting due to being federated even while making less profits.
-
Peertube is open source.
-
Donations are welcome but not required just to use the services usually.
There are few legal differences.
-
in cache its harder for the average nontech person to access a cached video outside the website. Additionay in cache it's considered a temporary store to help aid the service than a permament one.

When you download a video on Youtube it is probally against their terms of use while doing the same on Peertube seem widely permited by the playform based on the license the user uses. There are fewer Peertube videos that dont allow downloads then do.
With that said, a concerning amount of them have unknown selected as their license. So its hard to tell most of the time when its ok with the creator to download and if their ok/cool with it.
It might seem too late, but this will be helpful for people stuck in ridiculous contracts to cancel and go internet exclusive. If you're younger, in your 20s or even 30s, you would probably likely be rid of cable by now.
if you're much older then that those are the people I think would really benefit from this, the older generations.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced a proposal Tuesday to ban cable and satellite television early termination fees. In a press release, the FCC said these fees may limit consumer…
Sometimes these fees could cost as much as an entire billing session even if you hadn't used it for that long of a period of time, (in the u.s)
YouTube or Peertube? Now on Youtube, things are meant to be more corporate, while on Peertube, it is its own platform, and it is open source.
Makes sense. But when you add in the license that Peertube has available for creators to use for their videos, then the rules become more global I would assume. Might be wrong there.
The original uploader in particular would be the person sueing, i'm not really worried about the instance itself, since Peertube over all is opensource. They would probably sue the person downloading the work, although unlikely it could happen atleast legally.
One thing to add that I just found and looked into is that Peertube does seem to have a way to sort by license, atleast on sepia search, which is like a global search for most Peertube instance, though probally not every video gets featured on all instances ever made. So that seems to suggest even more that is is case by case basis whether it is legal to just go and download the videos freely.
My other concern is that not every video upload has a license submitted, those videos uploaded to a Peertube instance, that say that the license is 'unknown' it's due to the uploader not deciding and that just complicates things further for whether it's okay or not okay to download the video.
If we are going for this fediverse and opensource thing especially with video, legal use like this need to be looked into, simplified and more talked about so people can rest assured they are in the right legally. Even if the uploader might not be as likely do anything, it's still an unknown license and that could leave people vulnerable especally in more creative cases especially when they reupload with little fair use to there aid.
That would apply if its scheduled like on tv but that wouldnt work if for standard video uploads would it?
I was thinking since most on peertube don't tend to seek revenue from ads, so should it be acceptable? Peertube itself is opensource.
In summary i'm really asking for whether if it should be acceptable or not. Maybe it varies from uploader to uploader, but even then channels dont tend to state their own stance on this.
I feel most peertube users would not care. But is it legal, or a chance that some one might sue?
edit: added claritiy to the question title and post body.
Peertube is an open source platform where I feel most users are posting there just to have fun and as a hobby for no or little profit. While Youtube is ad supported and creators on there now days want to use it to make profit.
On Peertube should it be legally acceptable to download uploaded videos for free for offline use? Is it legally acceptable?
Did you try it yourself? The tea was actually pretty good. Im not even saying to buy everything at dolar tree. But the green tea I thought was a good buy.
Even the scrapping in theory could be restricted. I might be wrong there.
Makes sense it was a good episode.
YouTube has clarified in a statement that users who use ad blockers will have a suboptimal experience regardless of their browser.
This delay isn't exclusive to Firefox, it's in any browser where a user has enabled adblockers including in Chrome. Disable the adblocker and this delay magically go away. This was done on purpose.
When I go on one instance there doesn't seem to be a change of interface or even a special about from the maintainer. Is there anything behind the scenes that changes?
Gmail is an email service. Like the fediverse, email is federated.
By changing your email provider, do you really lose anything? You can still contact your friends, contacts and even various customer suports. You also can recieve emails from popular social media apps. If you degoogle from atleast one Google app, maybe Gmail could be the easiest and least life changing one.
While, Youtube could easilly be one of the most difficult to degoogle from. Not like literally but emotionally. Like deep down you know you can find mostly all you might need on something like Peertube but not all the entertainment media like on Youtube. You will also become a social outcast if peertube is the only app you use. You might not understand channels people mention in day to day talk from youtube or references.
If you use exclusively fediverse apps and sites, Chrome could be almost just as easy to replace as gmail, longterm. However If you use Youtube it won't surprise me that Youtube downgrades your performance and user experience in what ever means neccesary on competing browsers.
A plurality of young voters say they hold social media responsible for divisions among Americans, according to a survey released Monday. A Quinnipiac University poll asked U.S. registered voters to…
A Quinnipiac University poll asked U.S. registered voters to select one of four options to blame for the divisions in the country. Overall, 35 percent blamed social media, 32 percent blamed political leaders, 28 percent blamed cable news channels and only 1 percent blamed other countries.
I know people who spend like $2.00 or 3.00 and get only like 30 bags at other stores and even when it is only 1.00 it's likely to be less then the 100 green tea bags that got for $1.25.
post edits: just some spell corrections
When I use it i'l generally use It on one of my phones.
Why don't I subscribe to YouTube channels on New pipe? Well one day Youtube might revoke my access to it's content entirely using newpipe. They don't like new pipe blocking the ads.
So I would go on sepia search in a separate browser window, this will make searching for videos on Peertube more broad then on an actual instance. and when I find a good channel you just need to copy the URL to that channel page and then you can subscribe to multiple channels from different instances as if it were normal Youtube channels.
If I'm on my laptop or smart tv, then that's when i'd use youtube. to keep up with trends, we know how that can be like. right? or is it just me?
