You can run your own federated streaming service that will have no ads and will be free of charge, yeah?
Nobody here wants peertube really.
They want free bandwidth (streaming 4k60), free computation (encoding, optimization), free research (codec development) and free storage (for endless amount of videos). Google sucking is a valid reason to piggyback on Google infrastructure but they seem to feel entitled to Google just letting it happen.

Even when I was a poor teenager and pirated essentially everything I always knew that this content only exists because someone is paying for it.
