The goal of Peertube and Framasoft, the org behind it, is not product and market building. Product and Market building is exactly what led us to the default video repository being run by a for-profit company with only its own interest at heart, arbitrary censoring based on american feelings for the entire planet, arbitrary demonetizing videos/channels but still getting the revenue stream, mining every bit of data from users for ad placement.

That's not the spirit we want. Peertube is not a product to compete with existing video websites. Peertube is a product you use to self-host your videos, for you, for your band, for your org, for your company, anything. It's about taking control, not selling junk.

EDIT: I fear I might have been unclear, I am in no way affiliated to Peertube

You're proving the point. You see no difference in presenting a product well and "selling junk". The Peertube website's job is to tempt people to try it out. Getting people to use Peertube is the only way Peertube can change anything about the situation where the default video repository is being run by a for-profit company with only its own interest at heart.

That requires what iandanforth refers to as "product and market building".

Making a good, ethical product look attractive isn't evil.

You're right, and Framasoft (the French non-profit behind the project) knows it. If you can help, or know people who can, I think they'd be glad to hear from you!
