The problem, I think, is that PeerTube (and Owncast) don’t effectively do the parts that content creators™ find valuable - wide distribution/discoverability and linking content to ads for a profit incentive.
If you want to make content or stream as a hobby, these things can make sense. If you already have a large following then you might be able to convince that following to join you on one of these alternatives. Anything in between… I’m not sure it’s very compelling for most.
PeerTube’s pretty good, and fit for purpose for most people wanting to publish pre-recorded video.
Plus, you can subscribe to PeerTube channels from Lemmy (e.g. !techlore@neat.tube (https://neat.tube/c/techlore/videos))
