On: YouTube networks drop thousands of creators as YouTube policy shifts

[sschueller]

If you don't agree with these policy shift I urge you to support projects such as PeerTube[1] any way you can (code, running a node etc.).

Content creators do not give a shit about privacy. Since PeerTube is not-for-profit nobody will move there.

All they care about the fact that the revenue source was pulled off of them.

Maybe the most open platform will win if the future is Patreon, Twitch, Brave Browser...

[romanovcode → pickpuck]

Twitch is bought by Amazon long time ago. Brave is closed-source browser so you have no idea what is happening there.

Patreon is amazing tho.

[sschueller → romanovcode]

Brave is open source [1] to my knowledge.

Why? There would be no way to make money on PeerTube (and very hard to even get an audience).

and very hard to even get an audience

The question here is whether it's harder to get an audience by being discovered among the millions of other videos on YouTube, or by being discovered among the millions of websites on the internet. If you're competent at marketing it shouldn't really make a difference either way.

d.tube seems a more realistic alternative
