You’re assuming all of those followers are going to follow him to that platform and stay on it solely for his videos. They won’t. A large chunk? Maybe. But not all of them. I’d say ~65% max, and that’s one hell of a hit to earnings if they’re ad-based. On top of that, moving to a platform that has a much lower userbase limits growth which means the content creator putting themselves into a situation of viewship decline which isn’t smart. But you’re a Peertube stan and don’t care about those minor details so I’m sure it’ll be fine.

No I’m not, nor is that what I said.

Continuing to build your business on the rented land of a monopoly that doesn’t give a single shit about you isn’t smart either.
So we’ve got to that part of the discussion, have we? The part where the pieces line up too much for comfort so you deny what you were saying. Cool.
Continuing to contribute to a monopoly isn’t smart either.
This is something I actually agree with but short of a mass exodus of big creators, I see it being too small to matter, only serving to cripple the creators who jump ship.
That’s not what my name refers to but even then, there’s nothing left to debate. You’ve already decided you’re right based entirely on “He’s got an audience”, completely ignoring the fact that a large chunk of them won’t jump to another platform for just one creator which would harm Steve’s viewship and thus his bottom line. You say I’m only stating the obvious, don’t have any legitimate reasoning and am resorting to strawmanning despite giving absolutely nothing to show Peertube is a viable solution. You ended the debate all on your own by being obtuse, likely willfully misunderstanding basic language and deflecting so I’m done wasting my time.

I didn’t ignore anything. I agreed with that above. I don’t know why you’re wasting your time trying to gaslight people on a miniscule forum into believing I said something that they can all see for themselves that I did not say.

We’ve gotten to the part of the conversation where you run out of legitimate arguments and resort to strawmanning.
