im still debating wether i start a peertube channel or not, and im no pro but we all have to start somewhere. ive aksed variouse family member si know if i should do some sort of video content creation. i was thinking gaming but there are so many genres im not sure plus i have school and im worried it might make my life more stressful. does anybody here have experience with peertube, if so feel free to share something in the comments if possible. i also have somewhat of a low end pc that can manly run old titles and 2d games.

how do you even find motivation to keep posting video after video?

so is starting a peertube worth it or is now a good time to start?

well originally things like youtube or whatever was more of a hobby, people would upload stuff because they felt like it and wanted to - it wasn't really get famous and rich like people hope for today.

so you have to ask yourself what your goal even is.

i want to do is as a hobby or a goal if possible but im worried i might fail my goal, such as starting a peertube channle. at the moment i dont have to many goal and i thought peertube might help a little, if that makes sense.

So do the thing.

or a goal if possible but im worried i might fail my goal, such as starting a peertube channle.

If your goal is to start a channel, you won't fail because that's easy. Just start it and boom you're done. Goal accomplished.

Now if your goal is to start a "successful" PeerTube channel things get interesting. Mainly, what do you define as successful? Lots of viewers? That's doable. Profitable? That becomes harder. Sustainable? You could do that imo. Just a place to share your thoughts? You got that. There are more ways to define success but those are just examples.

So the first thing to do is really ask yourself what your goal is for this channel. What do you want it to do or represent?

at the moment i dont have to many goal and i thought peertube might help a little, if that makes sense.

I think it makes sense, but I'll say be careful not to burn yourself out or get down on yourself if it's not shaping up how you expected. Especially since you haven't quite defined what you're using your channel for.

Good luck OP

What's the harm? Have a go at it. Make a video.
