NOPE. Because ANYONE can run their own Peertube, build their own communities, have your communities help fund you (as they’re already doing now, see pretty much ALL of them asking for people to support them via patreon), put what you want on your Peertube, and then have the safe for YT stuff get pulled to Youtube without doing much work other than setting up the link.
So you can upload to Peertube and have Youtube pull it. Why not invest in your own platform and community?
It’s not for everyone. That’s fine. But Google doesn’t care about you, why not care about yourself and your comunity? You can run a Peertube for like $10-$20/month.
I’m bullish on Fediverse though. I could be wrong.
I understand the advantages of a federated system for the users. But if we’re asking full time content producers to give up their sole income and move to a platform they can’t monetize, that’s going to be a really tough sell.
Its most really an advantage for video. Do you think peertube could ever be as bug as YouTube? I’m not even talking popularity just bandwidth and storage.
Everyone is SO FOCUSED on like Mr beast or some other big youtuber.
It’s the medium sized people who are the problem. Mr beast has product endorsements and a show on Amazon. He could live comfortably without youtube. But people like davie504, Cody’s lab, tasting history, all those mid sized channels who do this for a living and are the whole reason I go to YouTube in the first place simply can’t afford to migrate somewhere they won’t get paid.
I wouldn’t expect people to destroy their livelihood for this. We can have both. Also YouTube started with no money. Lots of people want to share their hobbies. And more and more are turning away from big tech. This one happen over night. But how does the flood start? One drop at a time.
Does peertube pay content creators? If not, good luck convincing any of them. A lot are doing this as their job.
It also needs to be less of a hot UX mess to increase uptake.
To be fair, it’s better than it used to be. But still not good.

It doesn’t HAVE to be everyone. There are tons of under served communities.
We will never go toe to toe with Google. Someday a company might be able to with federated servers.
More likely interoperability laws could force Youtube to open.
But so many folks don’t need or want to go get big.
Education, religions, private businesses.

Sure but not if you get big. No yay 20 covers your cost.
