I made a post earlier about Owncast. Long story short, I have to wait 48 hours to try it. In the meantime I decided to look into PeerTube livestreaming and I was astounded by how good it actually is.

Here are 30 mins of smooth livestreaming on Hardlimit. Simply amazing performance in game and on video. I just wish H265 encoding was supported, then it would be an endgame for me.

Seriously, more people need to start livestreaming on Peertube and of course donate to their instances. It's worth your time and your money far more than a Youtube Premium sub which, in the future, will also contain ads 100%.

PeerTube is the future of video content.

PeerTube makes way, way more sense as a self-hosting platform for small and medium sized creators. That means the creators shoulder the burden of hosting their own content, and recoup those costs from their viewers via such vectors as Patreon. Having Patreon integration, direct one-time donation options, and user access levels for channels and/or videos so that subscriber-only content can be easily managed would go a long way towards this.

The Fediverse's current model of "donate to your serve admin using a completely disconnected 3rd party payment processor" isn't going to fly if you want actual popular anndprofrsional video content. Especially when the server admin is not the content creator.
