   #peertube #advice for people justt wanting to view content.
   also there's a little bit of Peertube vs YouTube in there.

   The good news for just #viewers is that just like #youtube you won't necessarily have to join *any* particular server for Peertube just to view a video.

   but here's how to really supercharge your Peertube video viewing experience.

   1. use #Sepiasearch to search for videos from a bunch of different peertube servers works almost like how you do on #Youtube. This has a 2010-2014 feel of Youtube search. it's amazing and it's affordable since the Sepiasearch owners don't have to host the videos just the #thumbnails and etc. More affordable then #youtube #rumble #netflix and etc for hosting, due to its fediverse nature. Despite that this search will direct you to atleast 80% of all Peertube hosted videos, if not all of the servers out there.

   2. if you are on #android use #Newpipe app to subscribe to all these Peertube channels in a single feed with no ads for free and legally. Although by defualt Peertube already does not show ads, as #Youtube continues to double down on shoving ads down peoples throats. Not really much of a solution for Peertube elsewhere quite like newpipe.

   3. Or just subscribe to peertube channels from mastodon. It's #federated after all. Within the #fediverse. Done in #federation

   rest of this is just me rambling, but it is useful info to consume about Peertube.

   Honestly, at first the switch wasn't so easy because I didn't think Peertube really had much to offer, untill I just kept exploring sepia search and finding more interesting channels to subscribe to.

   Even tho I been only posting about one #channel the past last night and this morning (est time) I have more then 6 other animating channels strictly from Peertube I can post about. So there isn't a shortage of content.
