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”

      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.

      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
