Unfortunately it's not as easy as "join and post videos". Finding an instance willing to host your videos is a massive issue. You might even have to pay a company to spin one up for you, whereas YouTube will just host your videos for free. There's the obvious sustainability issue, but for a small channel, or someone who doesn't have cash reserves and is just trying video-making out, no upfront investment is kinda a no-brainer.

I'm litteraly running mine on an old tiny mini PC. And as long as you dont abuse instances, hosting videos is as easy as signing up and clickng post.

Peertube has direct imports and there are plenty of instances willing to host videos.
