Consider moving your video to odysee.com , especially if you have no plans to make video creation a source of income.

Political extremism propped up by crypto crud. PeerTube every time.

  PeerTube is really fantastic. If you're not concerned about monetization and discovery, PeerTube is a great choice.

      If you rely on Youtube for those things, yes. I was more thinking of a use case I often see where someone has a blog or a prominent Twitter account or something, and just wants to be able to link to their video. The blog itself may be monetized with membership or ads or something, but they don't need Youtube itself to be monetizing it. A case study example is Jupiter Broadcasting. They run their own instance of Peer Tube. They monetize their content through premium members and ads that they sell and manage themselves, and most of their audience listens to audio through RSS feed, but they want to make video available for the few who want it. They just need a place where they aren't constantly getting dings for things. They don't care that much about monetization or discovery.

I haven't seen odyssey before but it looks worth checking out. A friend of mine got nailed for a bogus copyright claim, but she was way too small to get Youtube's attention. She uses Rumble now, and is optimistic about monetization as Rumble seems to be very welcoming and helpful to creators, including path to monetization. There's a lot of right wing stuff on there, but it's not just a cesspool dumping ground for stuff that's too heterodox for youtube (although there certainly is some of that there if you look for it). There's quite a bit of legitimately interesting content on there that has nothing to do with politics (I mostly watch tech stuff and music stuff), most of which (I imagine) could be on Youtube without issue, but as a creator you don't have to live in fear so many people publish there instead. You don't get near the reach of youtube, but I've been considering maintaining a mirror there of my youtube channel just in case I get the ire of the robot someday for something. I try to be very careful of copyright, but it's walking on egg shells. Eventually you'll break one even though you're trying not to.
