A few days ago I noticed a marketing email sent to my Zima alias. Apparently lots of other people also noticed this and were not happy. Attached is the IceWhale response.
I really don't think it is.

The two biggest issues are actually not software related
I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.
Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.
Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that's required. The only revenue they're missing out on is AdSense.
Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don't see it.
Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.
I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube.
As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.
Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube's bullshit.
sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?
Been on that list since he became a CEO
Some content lends itself well to written format. Lots of content does not.
PeerTube is just software. It's a decentralized network. It doesn't have to scale to that size. You can have a million servers handling the storage and streaming in a more efficient method and democratize the bandwidth.
User experience can be improved pretty easily.
The important parts are already there.
I don't see anything regarding encryption
No one wants to talk about PeerTube?
Depends on whatever the whims of the President are this week.
Maybe not. That's my best guess as to why they wouldn't advertise it on the homepage.

Well, we'd have to be more specific about what parts of the "user experience" we're talking about here in order to make that assessment.
I'm mostly talking about discoverability, the default algorithms, the lack of federation, and a way to actually filter content by language.
