Don’t most YouTubers make more money with their own sponsorships than from YT ads? Can we start the mass migration to PeerTube already?

YT will likely attempt to play creators and viewers off one another. Similar to how hospitality does so with patrons and staff re: tips. You could see a FUD campaign aimed at anyone republishing their work on competitor sites.

odysee can also be a option from peertube as well but odysees privacy policy they sell non pii data according to them

I don’t think Peertube would handle mass migration of Youtube creators, unless each and every one of them set up their own instance.
