      Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.

        Any influencer that relies on YouTube ad money won’t make the full jump.

        Other than that, they’ll very quickly find out that keeping a video focused service running and serving 10k views daily (300k/mon) is very expensive both in storage and bandwidth.

        I think they are the only people able to do something like that. Hosting videos is expensive as … you know. But if someone can do it, its them.

        Even just mirroring.

        Is there a tool already that makes it easy to upload to both? Idk, I haven’t uploaded a video since like the 10s

          i get it, and don’t mind seeing him these days, but I don’t seek him out.

            Same here. There were times where my eyes went up just hearing mentions of the guy, but nowadays, there are some videos I kinda enjoy watching (rare but yea)

          I can kinda see it, though he’s not my cup of tea. I like my videos a bit more essay-like and a bit more serious mode.

        How about LBRY? Do you think it’s a sane alternative to YT? I also think peertube is the true freedom, though, I was surprised how quick videos load on odysee

          I though (not sure if I remember correctly) LBRY is basically dead after the lawsuits. The network was overtaken and is basically another corpo shait…

          LBRY is cool but I’m honestly sketched out by the creators that currently exist there. It’s mostly weird libertarians and crypto bros plus random porn bots. Also between the first and most recent times I played with it they added a CDN that hosts all of the files and something like 99% of the data I downloaded while farting around on there came from that single official CDN, so very decentralized.

          Peertube has actual large creators who aren’t weird conservative podcasters, and tons of different servers already which serve content, and great Mastadon integration which puts it in a much better spot for growth moving forwards than LBRY. You can literally watch peertube videos from Mastadon (Which has millions of active users including some celebrities and government officials) and comment on them from Mastadon, so there’s kinda already a userbase measured in millions depending on how you classify cross-fediverse users

            Maybe yeah. In fact, the only video I’ve ever watched on LBRY is from a YouTuber named Mental Outlaw
