Censorship seems to be the main driving force behind users looking at other platforms at the moment. That being said, unfortunately, without the ad model, there's minimal incentives for users to fully migrate to other platforms like Patreon (for instance). If any new platform that wants to come online and compete, it will have to integrate the ad-model to provide any kind of real incentives for the users.

- erva 8y agoYT now has channel "memberships" built in that mimic Patreon. Since it is integrated into YT you get a streamlined perks platform along with a special icon noting you are a "member" of the channel when commenting.
- livestyle 8y agoPatreon is part of the SV mafia.. They're just as bad w/ arbitrary censorship. Bitcoin is a better use case for PeerTube imo.
- cheez 8y agoPatreon is also censoring.
