Still there’s no way around the fact that hosting videos is expensive and someone has to pay for it. It seems like PeerTube mostly contains small private instances where people host their own content. If you find an instance that allows you to upload videos, then it’s up to the administrator to decide what content is allowed. I feel like I can still trust YouTube more that my videos won’t disappear some day. You can of course create your own instance. I don’t know if that would be the way to go then.
I have almost always had good luck. Just one bad experience comes to my mind - my host in Germany was a psychopath. I didn’t have any problems with her, in fact I hardly ever met her during a one week stay. But I forgot the heating on when I left. She got so pissed off that she left a long, insulting review, where she said shit about how we never got along. Airbnb refused to delete the review, so I deleted my account. By the way, I don’t pay $200 for a night. I take the cheapest $20 room that I can find.
Anyway, I created a new Airbnb account. The nice thing is that I was able to use a referral link from my wife again to get the referral bonus. So by deleting and recreating my account, I actually made $50.
