The other day I wanted to share a video.
YouTube wanted me to login, give them my real name, provide an email address (wouldn't take a throwaway for an answer) and a phone number to text me (I don't have a phone).
I went to a #Peertube instance instead. They accepted my throwaway email address and my video. Didn't ask for personal information. And the upload and video playback worked great.
True story.
So, thank you @Chocobozzz and everyone else who worked on Peertube.
