The great thing about YouTub is that when it comes to web video, it's got pretty much everything. The biggest problem with YouTub is that it's got pretty much everything, and most of it is puerile garbage, AI slop, and ads disguised as "content". Or in some cases, all 3 in 1 video.

It's like a backyard pool after a party for spoilt trust fund kids. Full of lukewarm vomit and bits of poo, but with the occasional gem in there if you can be bothered to sieve it out.

(1/?)

If everyone on the fediverse could convince their 2-3 favourite YT creators to set up a PeerTube channel, and post all their videos there too, PT would become more useful than YT and far more pleasant.

Because PT would have most of the good stuff that draws people to YT. But low-effort slop could easily be filtered from searches, permanently. Just by Muting the channels - and if necessary whole services - where it's posted.
