Maybe PeerTube will see better days when Google can't pay for YouTube anymore.
I don't see how I implied a hope for PeerTube to replace YouTube.
I simply said that PeerTube might see better days when Google can't pay for YouTube anymore, as in PeerTube might get some popularity after that.
It challenges even the multi billionaire tech companies to host something like YouTube at similar scale. I don't think anyone that knows how big YouTube actually is would think that.
I use Posteo. Their privacy policy seems to be more sane than the others, with riseup and disroot coming in first and second, but I'd rather not use email providers that present themselves as a "safe" place for activists and journalists.
