I would support GN opening a PeerTube channel (and I would watch their PeerTube channel), I just don’t think it’s viable to completely move off YT at this point.
Regarding monetisation, we of course will have to radically change internet monetisation models with a bigger focus on scheduled donations (for the platform and content creators) and a perks system for incentives and perhaps a bit torrent-enhanced style distribution system. But this is a long term thing, there is the here and now.
Maybe Nebula as a mirror? It’s subscription-based, but I rather put my money there and watch the content ad-free than giving Google my money or ad views.
Legal Eagle, Practical Engineering and some others are putting their video a bit early there compared to their YouTube channels as an incentive to subscribe, and you can often get the yearly subscription 50% off.

And yet you haven’t provided any justification for this position.
Steve has millions of loyal followers. He has channel sponsors. He has his own personal products. He probably has thousands of channel donors.
Would he take a substantial hit to his revenue? Absolutely. But to say its “not viable” is preposterous.
At the very least he could begin mirroring his channel there.
Let’s agree to disagree. I did provide some pertinent points. I think we have far more that we agree on than what we disagree on.
Definitely. But if GN kept their YT channel, they could also promote PeerTube.
See there are some benefits to keeping the YT channel. :)
