I'd migrate to PeerTube but I figure I might be a drain on resources without giving back: I only upload unlisted personal videos for family/friends/myself, of family/friends/myself. Extremely uninterested in sharing them with the general public. Don't want rancid comments about my family, friends, or myself. So I stick to YouTube for all my uploads.
Maybe if I do something useful and informative for others I'll put it up there.
So, YouTube (and cloud) is just somebody else it's computer. A computer which a large company with millions of dollars behind it, that is the main difference.
I understand that. I attract less people to PeerTube, contribute less content for others, if I refuse to make my things public. I'd rather have big, corporate YouTube bear the burden than the smaller PeerTube.
