Well, we’d have to be more specific about what parts of the “user experience” we’re talking about here in order to make that assessment.

I’m mostly talking about discoverability, the default algorithms, the lack of federation, and a way to actually filter content by language.

I really don’t think it is.

The two biggest issues are actually not software related

I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.

Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.

Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that’s required. The only revenue they’re missing out on is AdSense.

Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don’t see it.

Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.

I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube.

As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.

Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube’s bullshit.

sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?

Been on that list since he became a CEO

Some content lends itself well to written format. Lots of content does not.

PeerTube is just software. It’s a decentralized network. It doesn’t have to scale to that size. You can have a million servers handling the storage and streaming in a more efficient method and democratize the bandwidth.

User experience can be improved pretty easily.

The important parts are already there.

I don’t see anything regarding encryption

No one wants to talk about PeerTube?

Not really sure how that’s good. It’s bad for Apple and bad for everyone.

Biden had a much more intelligent way of bringing manufacturing to the US.

Depends on whatever the whims of the President are this week.

Maybe not. That’s my best guess as to why they wouldn’t advertise it on the homepage.

Hurting /= killing

I didn’t say anything about “killing”.

It’s always been legal to download, but not upload.

I bet counting on Nvidia is going to fuck them. Such a weird choice when EVERYONE else has switched to AMD.

I’m very interested on how powerful this thing is if it’s price is going to be higher than the LCD Steam Deck

From a purely hardware standpoint, the Steam Deck LCD panel is awful, 800p/60Hz with no VRR. Switch 2 is 1080p/120Hz w/ VRR. We don’t know much about the Switch processor but surely it is at least comparable to the original SD one with those sort of screen specs.

Steam Deck has to be sold at cost at the lowest, mostly because it’s just a PC and can be (and has been) used for a myriad of things that don’t involve Steam. Nintendo could sell these things at a huge loss and still make money hand over fist because they can’t do anything but play Switch games.

…why would they? Self-hosting loses them business.
