Calling Peertube a Youtube alternative is just wrong. It is an alternative in theory but it probably doesn't even have a milionth of the content that Youtube has.

That's the problem with "the winner takes it all" on the Internet. Which European alternative would you suggest instead?

There is no real YouTube alternative, unfortunately. The content makes a video platform great. No alternative video platform is anywhere close to YouTube in content diversity.

It's unfortunately a very different situation to most other things. For example you can "simply" convince your circle of friends to use Threema. Try convincing your favorite Youtubers to post on any alternative platform and see how far you get.

I understand - my hope here would be we see „real“ content that is not clickbait optimized as there is no incentive on that
