      You know that PeerTube has a build-in video import tool ? It can import Youtube / Dailymotion / Vimeo channels or playlists. https://docs.joinpeertube.org/use/channel-sync I think that downloading YouTube videos is technically illegal unless you have been the uploader of the videos. But with PeerTube you can create private channels which you could share with friends or maybe even paid subscribers I guess.

        Oh I didn’t know that! Do you know any open instance that has this feature enabled ?

          Don’t know. I guess you could ask the admin of friendly instances, or self-hosted or ask friends to self-host. Self-hosting a PeerTube server is not that difficult and “Big Storage” on-line is not that expensive anymore.

      I agree, peer tube’s biggest issues so far besides the storage or the fact that there are almost no peer tube servers which offer user accounts (which isn’t needed explicitly to watch videos but makes the experience much better), and also the fact that there aren’t really any good apps to use it with that aren’t outdated or abandoned.
