+        PeerTube uses the BitTorrent protocol to share bandwidth between users by default to help lower the load on the server,

+        The threats to privacy with YouTube are different from PeerTube's.
         In YouTube's case, the platform gathers a huge amount of your personal information (not only your IP) to analyze them and track you.
         Moreover, YouTube is owned by Google/Alphabet, a company that tracks you across many websites (via AdSense or Google Analytics).
