  Peertube/Odysee exist, even if they are relatively niche.

    Competitor with no content, users is not a competitor. Youtube should be forced to share content they do not own. Just for the sake of competition.

      The content isn’t the problem. It’s the delivery system. No one else has the storage and network capacity that Youtube has. And as a result of that, no one else has the built-in audience Youtube has. Putting your videos on YT is simply the best way to get views.

        I wish they’d nationalize stuff like YouTube, and online data storage, etc

        Pretty much every Alternative Tech platform also has a huge far right population Lemmy is an exception to this but has a decently sized far left population instead I dunno how it is now but a lot of people complained a couple of weeks ago about Nazis joining Bluesky and one of the guys from Bluesky covering them

    i’d like to move to peertube, but i mostly just post stupid memes, and game clips on my youtube channel, and as generic as that is i don’t really know what instance to go with.

  Paying Nebula subscriber here 🙋‍♂️

  Pony up or your call for a competitor doesn’t mean anything. People don’t want ads? Fine. There has to be another revenue stream.

  • bilb@lem.monster ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Then isn’t the obvious move to just pay for youtube?

    source

    • scarabic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I also do that. But Nebula is more thoroughly creator friendly. 50% of net profits go to creators and are divided by their share of watch time. That is a far more creator friendly policy than YT having a closed ad algorithm and you just get what you get. The YT display algorithm is also famously opaque and has some bullshit nanny filters on it such that you can’t actually make a faithful video about something like a historical massacre without being demonetized and hurting your channel in the algo.

      There’s a lot I like about YT and being a premium subscriber does benefit creators there but I think Nebula is a next step in that evolution and it’s off to a decent start.

      I pay for both.

    Absolutely this. I pay for both my Proton and Notesnook accounts. No ads, no trafficing my data, and services I like and believe in.

    I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won’t give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they’d ever see from me from ads. And I’ve spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

    • scarabic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Can you say more about the written content part? I’m not sure I understood. Are you giving YT creators scripts for videos?

      • beejjorgensen@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

  Whatever happened to dailymotion?

  source

  • rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Does anyone really post anything to Dailymotion besides blatantly unauthorized TV stuff? I can’t imagine it’d be very good vibes for anyone trying to make an honest living with original content over there.

    Dailymotion does not allow for commenting anymore. That’s why I stopped using it.

    iirc they tried to become a tiktok clone, no idea how it went but considering i never see anyone talk about it i doubt it went very well
