Of course they do. They want to keep control over monetization. They don’t care about creators at all.
All his stuff is on youtube. Why doesn’t he upload to peertube? :/ It seems like he doesn’t like youtube a lot but his content only exists there.
Because that’s where the audience is. Peertube is deader than the lemmyverse. You are essentially making the silly “but yet you choose to live in society” argument.
Then publish on both!
Yeah right, we all know you have a single copy of digital items and you can either put it here or there, but not both. That’s why NFTs were such a success! /s
That seems like a good idea.
Not to be cynical, but how can you monetize peertube as a creator. Even if you are established enough to do in video sponsorships, your sponsors aren’t going to really accept views from peertube when they evaluate how much your worth. So it either does nothing or it sinks your career.
Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you’d probably start seeing sponsors.
I mean we’re sitting here on the lemmyverse having a conversation…
But yeah creators should upload to peertube but they won’t get any meaningful viewership there. The only way to break the network affect stranglehold google/youtube has over video content on the internet is making sure that if you do produce that content it’s available via other channels.
A service that uploads to all sites you select. All in one place. Pivot to hosting trackers and have users host their content torrent style
🙄 yeah, great talking with you
Quick reminder that you are on Beehaw. There’s only one rule here, and this sort of dismissive take does not adhere to it. Please find something substantive to dismiss.
What do you mean. He was rude. Am I supposed to continue engaging with that? I don’t enjoy abuse.
Not PeerTube, but he is on Odysee/LBRY.
Oh damn, I thought Odysee was dead and didn’t give it a second thought. How is Odysee still alive?
And yet, despite everyone complaining, YouTube knows damn well no one is going to stop using their shit so they’ll continue to do whatever they want.
Maybe people should just…. Stop using YouTube. That or don’t complain when they fuck over the content creators and users of their platform.
I’m honestly not gonna use youtube without ad and sponsor block.
You could just not use YouTube at all.
Why? Fuck the corpo, not the people who make the content.
Exactly… fuck the corpo, don’t use YouTube.
If you don’t use YouTube, you’re also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you’re still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you’re also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don’t have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.
I don’t disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I’ll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.
How can you write “exactly” and then disagree?
Imagine if- now bear with me… seriously, Imagine if…. everyone stopped using YouTube.
I’d rather fuck with them and make them waste resources.
I would all but guarantee they’re wasting little to no resources on you.
False.
So… you’ll complain about, but use it anyway thereby supporting what they’re doing.
Gotcha.
I’ll just use invidious, it’s a bit of a chore to use, but it’s increasingly worth it.
people really overestimate how many people use ad blockers and sponsorblock…
My brother in law says he likes commercials when I offered to remove it. They are over indexing this.
