Peertube has this fediverse problem. You google it, go to the webpage and instead of getting a list of promoted videos, you get an explanation of what it is and a manual on how to actually join, starting with „select a pot“.

That being said, i really would like an European youtube alternative, but not off the „provide your own hardware“ kind.

Yeah these are real problems that need to be addressed, not issues to say "nuh uh" and bury our head in the sand to
