2010-2015 was the golden age of YouTube. Adpocalypse effectively killed it as a neutral platform and now even mildly controversial videos get demonetized and/or removed. I therefore consider Peertube as essiantial as Wikipedia and Openstreetmap. I hope it becomes mainstream alternative to YouTube.

Does Wikipedia allow controversial content? It is fiercely editorially controlled, and proudly so.

Wikipedia often lets smears stay on their site - even if false and then locks down the page so the person isn't allowed to present their own side of story to defend themselves.

As for YouTube, similar example - There's a current trending HN thread on:

> YouTube suspends account for linking to a PhD research on WPA2 vulnerability
