I just listened to a recent #twitterspaces recording today from a Hive user, to remain unnamed (we'll call this person Pat to protect their identity). I like this person just fyi, as that person has been very helpful to me recently.
Pat made some comments about Peertube instances (servers) which are not entirely accurate however, and, not true at all if the instance admin installs our free Hive-Tube plugin (which Pat did not mention by the way, so we're cool).
Pat implies how peertube instances are NOT good (nevermind its benefits of P2P streaming and free Fediverse syndication) because you have to find "someone to host an instance, setup a db, setup the encoding, setup the storage" etc .... all the while "unpaid". That is NOT true for peertube instances that install our free Hive-Tube plugin.
Site Hosts (instance admins), Creators, AND the viewers/listeners can earn Hive on a Hive-Tube enabled instance, automatically, with no middlemen. It takes the average sysadmin about 15 minutes to install the peertube server software, and configure their desired settings.
Literally, 15 minutes tops. I'll even do it for you for free if you like.
Every week there are HUNDREDS of Hive-Tube instances coming online. Peertube server also supports remote (distributed!) storage, remote transcoding soon, and Site Hosts can automatically compensate those remote nodes via the Hive beneficiaries system.
All of that is up and running great right now, no need to wait.
So, I'm sorry Pat, but all of the points you just made about peertube servers, especially ones that install the free Hive-Tube plugin are wrong. Hopefully folks will look more into Hive-Tube soon..
