I prefer signal because it’s been the easiest one to convince my friends and family to use. I have like 8 friends on Signal, the 1 I got onto Matrix quit after a week. Matrix I treat more like foss Discord so I only use it for communities. ElementX is really nice though so I have hope that eventually it could be as smooth to use as Signal.

Not only is there the issue of getting approval from the video creators, there’s the issue that most PeerTube servers aren’t ready to handle a huge influx in uploads, as this would likely be a bulk operation.

Personally I think mirroring YouTube content would be more viable once ActivityPods lands and is integrated with PeerTube, which could potentially let you self host your PeerTube account data while still being part of a separate “home instance”, which would greatly help with the storage issue for PeerTube as we could all bring our own storage.
