Comment on What fresh fuckery is this?
Gigasser@lemmy.world 4 months agoMight be cool to start advocating for some YouTube creators to also post their stuff on federated video hosting/sharing places, 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 Peertube
There are maybe a dozen non nuts on Odyssey. They’re just down 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.
Yes!I couldn’t agree more on all that if I tried 🫶

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

Shit, if anything anybody popular would be costing themselves money through hosting.

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.
