A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

MODERATORS
PeerTube offloads distributing and serving across the viewers, so the more popular a video becomes, the more "CDN" its viewers provide.
It only has the "downside" of less control and the inability of the platform to insert ads, so all promotions are directly controlled by the content creators themselves, who "in exchange" only need a minimal server to host their videos.
