Obviously excluding videos whose authors explicitly do not want to, or copyrighted content that could create problems for individual instances.

By doing this PeerTube could become a kind of youtube database of quality content, excluding shorts and toxic/futile videos. What do you think of this approach? Could it make PT more attractive, or would it create problems for the platform?

I’m sure many creators would do it themselves but don’t have time, or many would do it but don’t even know about the existence of the Fediverse. Perhaps you could start by making “fan channels,” with all the most important and significant videos on a youtube channel (so without having to stay up-to-date on recent releases).

    it’s probably that they’re not willing to put in the effort to republish every video on peertube when the status quo works fine, or that they don’t know about peertube’s existence.

    Louis Rossmann for example definitely cares about FOSS/Free ecosystems is a giant proponent of ad blockers, but doesn’t post on peertube.

      Most peertube instances auto duplicate your YouTube channel for you.

        oh interesting, I doubt most youtubers know about it though, it should be promoted as much as peertube itself imo
