Obviously excluding videos whose authors explicitly do not want to, or copyrighted content that could create problems for individual instances.

By doing this PeerTube could become a kind of youtube database of quality content, excluding shorts and toxic/futile videos. What do you think of this approach? Could it make PT more attractive, or would it create problems for the platform?

I’m sure many creators would do it themselves but don’t have time, or many would do it but don’t even know about the existence of the Fediverse. Perhaps you could start by making “fan channels,” with all the most important and significant videos on a youtube channel (so without having to stay up-to-date on recent releases).

    Two things to consider:

    • It’s likely illegal to take other people’s content and re-publish it on your own terms
    • Peertube admins have to pay for storage. So don’t dump random noise there. It has to be useful / worth it. Especially if you make someone else pay for the server space.

      storage issues are very real, if op wants to do this they really need to do it on their own instance
