That’s a rhetorical question, in case there’s any doubt. I know the exact what and why of their bullshit.

    Might be cool to start advocating for some YouTube creators to also post their stuff on federated video hosting/sharing instances. Peertube is pretty cool. I mean shit, if any of you are thinking of being creators, and you make a video, put it both on YouTube and some Peertube instance.

    Edit: replaced a word with “instance” and added word “instance”

      Unfortunately creators need to be paid and YouTube ad & subscription money is a big part of that for many of them.

      By posting to elsewhere that won’t pay them, they would be reducing their income

        Plus, those other platforms don’t have an audience.

        Even Odysee, which has been around for several years, I only get 10s of views compared to the 3000-5000 that I get on youtube.

      There are maybe a dozen non nuts on Odyssey. They’re just drown out by the fascists.

      Problem is:

      Peertube doesn’t pay

      You have to pay for the backup/storage of your videos.

      PT will have massive scaling pains.

      Yt spends a lot of that advertising money hosting non profitable videos for free.
