My own take is that, due to the cost of bandwidth, it’s not going to take off as well as the Twitter equivalent of Mastodon or the Reddit equivalent of Lemmy/Piefed/Mbin. But, well, they are trying. If you have really great video content that you want to upload, that’ll probably help them be successful.
EDIT: Using fediverse.observer to get a list of the servers with the most users right now, here’s what’s on those right now. Like the Threadiverse, you can view federated content, not just local, but gives an idea of what’s popular:
Based on the tags, focusing on shota/loli (i.e. anime child porn stuff). Everything locally-uploaded appears to be marked NSFW and blurred-thumbnail by default. Clicking on one has a 3d-rendered boy giving a 3d-rendered man a blowjob, so I expect that most of the local content is along similar lines.
PeerTube is the Fediverse YouTube equivalent, and you can upload video there and link to them from here.

Swiss server. Looks to mostly be Swiss content.

Looks like some kind of indie game developer doing a bizarre game and Minecraft videos.

Looks like some guy posting videos about US political stuff.

The locally-uploaded videos are in Cyrillic, and one of the top videos has Putin’s face, so I assume this is Russian or Ukrainian or something.

More Cyrillic, so I’m assuming Russian or Ukrainian. The top video appears to be showing Stalin.

Assorted stuff. Antivax stuff, some European-language stuff, cat videos.

No local content; the federated stuff appears to be Italian-language.
You get the idea.

This is hosted within the territory of my country. But what is the difference between the black dots and the green dots in the EU and the USA ?
