I need to read more about how #Peertube works. For example, I would to spin up an instance, but storage and bandwidth concerns have me wondering whether it and similar platforms can ever be more than niche.
I do know that I once saw a video link to an instance with a very racist domain name. No problem, I thought, I should be able to see the desired video from another instance. Except no, even if the desired video wasn't racist itself, there were no instances I tried (using their list of public instances) that could fetch it.
If I was Joe Normaluser and I could not watch supposedly federated Peertube videos on a Peertube instance, I likely would not return to another PT video.

@likho If you're viewing a video from another site, does the site you're using also start to seed the video? I'm talking about in general, not the case above where the instance was probably blocked by everyone else.
