I wish people would just download from youtube, upload to peertube, and share the peertube link as a matter of course when they want to share videos. It adds a few steps, but you'd save a lot of people from having to deal with that hellsite.
ahem... legal issues? Copyright? You can't just do that. Also, creators would earn less loney from ads and therefore possibly stop making the videos.

Uploading a video to youtube doesn't copyright it, and most Youtube videos are second-hand content anyway.
Edit: I thought I'd be a little more helpful and provide an example. Look at all the CNN videos on this YT channel, the operators of which I'm pretty sure do not own the copyright: https://youtube.com/@american.bulletin
Just saying that if american_bulletin can rip & post CNN videos, then there's no reason fediversians shouldn't be able to rip and post american_bulletin's rip of CNN to peertube.

just because others break the law it is not okay to break the law. Sure, I do use adBlocker and download music from yt for myself, but I am not fine with breaking the law.
Yes!!
