    Or by mirroring his content to other video sharing platforms like LBRY/Odysee or Peertube. It requires little effort, seems to be risk free, and lays the foundation to migrate from YouTube at some point in the future.

    I’m a little puzzled why a lot of creators don’t do this, especially ones who criticize YouTube so much and promote self hosting.

      my guess is that when you become “YouTube famous” you get perks and increased volume pay. this comes with a new contract that has binding resolutions, blocking you from uploading your content to other platforms.

      Odysee is a bit of a nazi platform and I think most people want to host their own peertube instance but putting your videos on someone else’s instance results in them going down when the instance does

      Tho since Pewds is getting more and more interested in tech, I think hosting a Peertube instance would actually be fitting for him.
