A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that’d do that automatically. Otherwise there won’t be much content ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really happy that it exists but just don’t see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.

And also community profits. But I don’t see it happen because politicians are dumb. In my country (EU) they still use X and Facebook only to communicate on social media. Microsoft is also heavily embedded in all pores.

The only way to fake it would be to use a “public” signature, but then again, I’m sure google will revoke them eventually. I guess rooting won’t be enough, one would have to change some internal binaries. Perhaps it’s time for a ungooglified android OS 🤷‍♂️

Torrent client is just an application, author shouldn’t be responsible - naive thinking I suppose

I’d say a big ton of them :(

I’m on your side and you are correct, besides Google amassing a ton of money (each registration costs $25) they will have total control and we know that Google is far beyond “not evil”.

Sideloading still works, just the apps have to be signed. Still awfull.
