 # ripper
-Checks YT Channels and Bitchute channels for new videos and downloads them quickly
+Checks YouTube, Bitchute, and Peertube channels for new videos and downloads them quickly.
 
 This is considerably faster than giving `youtube-dl` the channel URIs directly.
+## YouTube
 This script can use the YouTube Data API v3 if available, but has a fallback if either:
 
 - no API Key is given
 - the Data quota for the day has been exceeded
 
+## Bitchute
 Bitchute can also be used with this script.
 This part of the script is quite generic and could easily be adjusted for other websites.
 
+## Peertube
+Peertube instances require the channel RSS feed URL to work.

 See the documentation inside the `ripper` file for more information.
