Hey @peertube this year I will try to push our Peertube instance to get more eyeballs and people interested to join. But we need to also help each other. We have a few original Peertube channels that prioritize Peertube and are not simply "second hand youtube channels".
Maybe you can recommend them and more on your joinpeertube.org/en_US#find-pe… page.
For one you may be aware but we published a 5 hours documentary exclusively on Peertube - videos.trom.tf/w/p/fVpfZ9VfWrW… Subtitled in several languages. We even talk about The Fediverse and Peertube in the documentary.
We have our entire TROM channel there - videos.trom.tf/c/trom/videos - Hundreds of videos. And this year I will start a new video series. Some videos will also be about the fediverse, peertube, and FOSS.
We recently started our motorhome adventures (very family friendly channel) - videos.trom.tf/c/tromhome and we are posting there twice a week or so.
Be Brave To Act made by @sober_pirate has really great and original content about volunteering. We will try to help him keep the channel updated - he mainly posts on youtube.
Or VideoNeat - videos.trom.tf/c/videoneat - documentary trailers.
We need more original Peertube creators and not simply those who "mirror" their Youtube channels there. If people know that the channel X posts only on Peertube and not on Youtube, it may make these people follow on Peertube. But if people know that channel X posts on Youtube and Peertube is just like a mirror....is different.
You and others need to help us and people like us, if possible, to get the Peertube content out. So that people get to use Peertube more often.
I choose to post on Peertube first, or only, despite not reaching as many people as I would on Youtube, but I do it because I think it is worth the effort to promote this sane alternative to the giant ad-platform that Youtube is.
And thank you for what you've created. By "helping" us, I mean perhaps promote good and original Peertube content on your homepage and also share it if possible. So the newcomers get to see that Peertube is not just the awesome software you've built, but people use it to create original/good content.
Thanks!
Thanks for pointing out this issue and pushing for PeerTube to be more widely known!
Actually, we don't have the human resources (and therefore the time) to do what you suggest on our own.
We couldn't imagine promoting videos without first reviewing them, and watching videos... takes a lot of time!

@sober_pirate @tio
What we could imagine is a community effort to curate exclusive PeerTube videos.
Something like what @FediVideo already does.
That way, our small team could promote them more easily!
Either through our social medias or by adding them to the front page of joinpeertube.org.
Soooo... sorry for not saying "Yes, we'll work on it ASAP!" even though we'd love to do so!
Maybe in the future, with the help of our community, your suggestion will become possible!

Thank you for the shoutout 
"second hand youtube channels".
For what it is worth, the line between YouTube and PeerTube is not always as stark as this. For example @michellemay gets most of her views on YouTube but she features the Fediverse in her videos, she even did a video dedicated entirely to the Fedi which she put on YouTube.
Some are on both YouTube and PeerTube equally, and will interact on both platforms.
I think it is worth welcoming these kinds of accounts.
YouTube can be a gateway to PeerTube if we welcome these kinds of accounts which have feet in both worlds.
This will be especially true if/when YouTube enshittifies further, PeerTube could become the better way of viewing videos for a lot of people if they see it as an option presented by the YouTube channels they follow.
Going back to Michelle's channel, this kind of thing is excellent for the Fediverse:
