I just tried to sign up for Peertube because this comment reminded me

The only site with any videos on it (Fediverse.TV) doesn't allow signups. Neither does the default instance (Peertube.TV).

Tragically, Web3 cryptoshit MAHA platform "Odyssey" was much more functional when I tried to use it, before realizing what kind of content dominated there.

EDIT: Finally found one that let me create an account:

Why create an account?
As you've probably noticed, creating an account is not necessary to watch videos on Tube Free.
However, creating an account on Tube Free will allow you to:

  • Comment on videos
  • Subscribe to channels and receive notifications of new videos
  • Have access to your watch history

...So even with an account, I can't upload videos?

you can, there are hundreds of nodes. to be fair there are probably 10's of thousands of videos, but ... they're almost all poor quality or just uninteresting

If all my time there i've found a couple music channels and a couple of linux people. There's no money in it, so none of the creators put any real time into anything over there.

There's tons of creators on YouTube who post content without receiving any money just for the joy of the game.
