I know some things about both, but im still confused for some reason. Like what is the difference between peertube and youtube, which is better?

I was thinking of getting into one of theses for video creation but im not sure which would be better as a sort of hobby? also do i need a powerful pc or a good microphone to get started? is it better to record with or without your voice?

Feel free to add on to this, but please be kind.

    From my understanding peertube has less restrictions of content compared with youtube. But I could very well be wrong. I’d say upload content to both. It won’t hurt having 2 types of audience and could potentially bring more views. I know several creators that upload to both.

    In my experience everyone has to start somewhere. I started with just a simple headset mic and eventually got a Blue Yeti usb mic. You don’t necessarily need a powerful pc. Programs like OBS, especially if you are just recording, can be optimized for lower end PC’s. I recorded on an old laptop for a while and it worked just fine. Start with what you have and upgrade when you can. Good luck!

      It would depend on the PeerTube instance you join.
