Does anyone feel like this whole thing, including this top post, is just a carefully crafted advert to TikTok? It's no a YouBoob competitor at all! Maybe a Vine or Snap competitor.

You can't host the same type of content on there. Honestly people should just use PeerTube; either set up an instance or pay for a hosted one.

Just slightly OT - How does PeerTube handle having videos at multiple quality levels? Does it store each video at a few different bitrates?

Maybe the future of video content is just a minute soundbite.

Youtube could be built on an old paradigm where a video is on average 1 hour long.

A carefully crafted minute will beat most longer videos. Applying frugality to the use of our very limited time seems like logical evolution.
