I want the ability to have everything behind a login. I don't want people not signed in watching videos and wasting bandwidth.

I mean I guess this would be an OK option. Disabled by default. IMHO this is the problem with YouTube lol
You can. You can set a video as "internal only". So only users registered on the server, can watch it.
Yes but they won't federate out which defeats the point of peertube.
True, but I wouldn’t want to have a wallen garden, like Instagram or Twitter, where it forces you to create a user.

- Featured creators on homepage (by admin)
- opt-out federation
- discovery algorithm that doesn't suggest 3 year old videos as "trending"
- A mobile app that works
I tried to sign up for an account, I was going to use it to create long form content, so I picked some tags (which definitely leave out too many broad categories to be particularly useful, and is thus incredibly limiting) that seemed somewhat related to what I wanted to do.
I then looked through the instance list based on those tags, and tried to find one that fit.. and I couldn’t, because all of them had some caveat or blurb or whatever that made me go “nope, probably not here..”
The problem is that I had to click through multiple pages to hit those caveats in the instance rules/description during the signup process, and I had to do it for every one I wanted to check out. They weren’t at all listed on the main page, and they probably should be, maybe under a popup tooltip sort of button. As it stands it was a huge waste of time, and I gave up, and lost interest in having a channel. Maybe I’ll browse it if it ever picks up, but frankly the process of signing up to be a content creator is far too onerous.
Maybe that’s a problem with the instance owners and how they have things set up, maybe with the way the whole platform works, I don’t really know. It was pretty consistent though, so I assume it’s a platform problem.
Multiple audio tracks for different languages.
Automatic subtitles. I know... Not the easiest functionality to develop but I do miss it from Youtube.

Unskippable one-hour long ads. 👌
I thought about uploading videos, but I could never figure out how.
The ability to post a video to multiple co-authors' channels.
Ads. If I could press a button and inject 30 second ads into videos that would cover the cost of the server, I'd run an instance today and start mirroring a fuckoad of content from YouTube
