<strong>With PeerTube, you don't have to please to the algorithms</strong> by artificially altering your content: PeerTube platforms are managed and moderated by humain beings like you and us, not by robots.
Except for video transcoding, a PeerTube instance is not CPU bound. Neither Nginx, PeerTube itself, PostgreSQL nor Redis require a lot of computing power. If it were only for those, one could easily get by with just one thread/vCPU.
The feature is called <a href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/admin/following-instances#instances-redundancy" target="_blank">"server redundancy"</a> and caches your most popular videos to help serve additional viewers.
It's the reason why we encourage developers to use the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://docs.joinpeertube.org/contribute/plugins">PeerTube plugin API</a> to create their own monetization system.
