Vimeo is on the way out, so Peertube is probably your best bet but it's nowhere near what anyone who relies on an audience would consider adequate.
What's happening with Vimeo? I haven't used it in an age.
Well, we’ve got to start somewhere. If we more people post there then more of an audience will come
Oh I fully agree, but for someone who needs to make money, it makes more sense to post to multiple places including PeerTube instead of just PeerTube.
That’s fair enough. It would be nice if on all the other mediums the filmmaker could say “hey the best way to watch me is on Peertube.” But unfortunately it looks like the only way to monetize on Peertube would be through crowd contribution platforms, such as Patreon, which might cause issues for some people who want to put their videos up there. The upside to this tho is that there’s no ads and no paywalls, so I think its a tradeoff is worth making
