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?

I have been running my own PT instance for about 3 years now. I only post videos of things that interest me, plus a videocast of a The Linux Lugcast podcast we do. I don't post video after video like that. It's very sporadic. PT is not YouTube, you will not find that level of engagement. If you are looking for lots of eyes on your content, PT is not the route to take. If you are interested in federation and want to move away from centralized platforms, it is good for that.

You didn't mention if you were joining an existing instance or hosting your own. That will determine whether your current PC is adequate or not.

oh i forgot to mention that i was thinking of finding a gaming instance or a genral instance to join becasue i lack the hardware to host an instance and idk how that hosting works.

also thank you for sharing.
