It's probably not wise to move, but cross posting between YouTube and a personal PeerTube instance should be the route that content creators go at first.
Eventually with services like PeerTube, Patreon, Drip, it'd be nice if we one day saw more people in the general public not going to YouTube and instead to specific PeerTube instances to get their content.
I'd like to see YouTube turn into MySpace, and Google have to eat all their advertisement focus, false copyright claims, censoring content bullshit.
- zabuni 8y agoAnything that gets large enough to matter will have to deal with false copyright claims and censoring content bullshit, without the help of the Google legal department. Your future is a future of hosts constantly disappearing, due to copyright claims, child pornography, and not wanting to deal with the bullshit drama of running a server anymore. With a couple of surviving, but being way locked down and moderated. 21st century phpbb message boards, ephemeral as hell. Not to say I don't approve of the software. A self hosting video platform that doesn't die at the first viral video is a powerful thing. But Youtube is Youtube because of network effects and monetization, not technology.
- evv 8y agoAgreed, but cross-posting is a pain so it probably won't happen. Unless somebody makes an app to cross-post automatically, I don't see PeerTube getting much adoption from the mainstream. Even if such a cross-posting app existed, it get shut down by YT pretty quickly. To survive, I think it would need to be well-supported open source endeavor.
