    I feel like the problem with moving away from youtube is that the larger chanels making money off of it arent going to want to move because they wont get monitized if they do. If they do move it will probably be to another corperate platform.

    I really dont like what youtube is planning on doing by restricting adblockers and adding more unskippable ads though. Hopefully that moves at least some people to peertube.

      I think any channel that’s able to get away with crowdfunded monetization like Ko-Fi or Patreon would be able to make the switch comfortably.

        They could but there is still a loss of income if they do switch so they would be more inclined not to switch especialy if the channel is only just big enough for the creator to make a living from it

        not saying it’s impossible though if youtube really fucks things up.
