In my eyes, Piped and such are the ideal solution, not peertube. Not, because peertube is bad, but because with using Piped, you can have your videos and you can have them on a FOSS surface, but leave the nasty tasks like paying for enough storage to host all those videos to the data guzzlers who get denied their return. Some real Robin hood shit right there.
Unless you’re also throwing money at YouTube premium (etc), isn’t this by definition unsustainable to do? So it’s not really a viable long-term strategy either.
Like don’t get me wrong, I don’t want all the tracking and stuff either, but somebody has to pay those server bills. If it’s not happening through straight cash then it’s going to be through increasingly aggressive monetization and cost-cutting strategies.
Piped will work as long as youtube allows them too and not a second longer. Reliance on an actor that hates you, isn’t the “ideal solution”. Newpipe breaks every time google decides they want to change how youtube works and invidio, freetube, piped, etc. all do too when that happens. That’s far from ideal.

Oh, Reality-Norgur is well aware of that. Yet, I decided to let fantasy-Norgur take over for a bit ;)
