Can’t hurt to cross-upload, the reality is that GN would need a YT channel to be commercially viable, but I think they are better positioned than most to use PeerTube as secondary channel.
No insults intended. Apologies if it came off that way.
The market share dynamics, UI/UX issues (average person finds federation to be a difficult concept) and lack of an “easy to pick up” monetisation system make PeerTube non-viable as a sole distribution source for a commercial (or even part-time income) channel.
I would argue the market share difference is by the far the biggest factor (other factors can arguably be accounted for with varying degree of success).

Personally, I don’t find this to be true, and/or it doesn’t really matter for the signup process, especially for Peertube where viewers usually aren’t expected to have accounts.
If you’re banned, nothing. But until then, YT is where the audience is. That’s why no-one/very few have jumped ship. A creator needs a large audience on a platform to make it worthwhile for them while an audience needs a good selection of creators to make the platform worthwhile to jump to. Until content creators band together to decide on a platform for everyone to jump to, we’re stuck right where we are.
Put it on peertube, maybe?

How did you arrive at this “reality”?
I am on the Threadiverse, so it is a reasonable assumption that I use the internet…
“I use the internet” explains absolutely nothing.
It was a joke. You can’t seriously think that PeerTube is viable alternative to YT (as a sole distribution channel).
I say this as someone who does use PeerTube for a few content creators that mirror from YT.
Are you going to answer my question or just continue replying solely to insult me?

All your other points are spot on though
People thought the same about YouTube at some point.
All the monetization systems are the same, minus one, which is the absolute worst part of the platform anyway.
The market share would grow ten thousand fold overnight if Steve moved.
I’d be interested to hear your proposals for alternative business models.
It’s not an alternative business model. It’s the same business model on an alternative platform.
And is that alternative platform in the room with us now?
Then the fact that YT is more popular and the annoying catch-22 continues ever thus.
I don’t know what that has to do with anything. Yes, YouTube is more popular, what good does that do you if you’re banned from it?

We’re not talking about me, we’re talking about Steve.
And it’s where the audience will remain until someone does something about it.
No shit. He already has the audience. He can bring them with him to the new platform.
You’re still just stating a bunch of obvious stuff without providing any explanation why PeerTube isn’t viable.
