"However, self-hosting might also be the only alternative, if Google decides to ban you from their platform"
I'm not familiar with the YouTuber industry but this scenario sounds like a death knell. Are there popular video bloggers that aren't on YouTube?
- jachell 6y agoI haven't used it, but maybe TikTok?
- erk__ 6y agoI don't know of any in the west, but in Japan and China (though youtube being banned helps) there are other popular video sites, for example NicoNico in Japan and YouKu in China.

- metiscus 6y agoChemPlayer basically had so many videos taken down that he moved off platform.
- swiley 6y agoI thought they deleted his account last summer. Personally that seems so weird. The amateur chem videos where what got me to start subscribing to YouTube channels.

In all seriousness, nearly every major chemistry youtuber that I have seen has had several videos struck for seemingly pointless issues. There are many many videos showing poor technique and potentially extremely dangerous synthesis - those remain up. I don't understand the criteria behind it in this domain.
