Comment on What if we started uploading YT videos to PeerTube?

I think it’s more a question of getting content creators to Peertube and the only way that will happen is if they add monitization and ads to help fund paying content creators or content creators can take donations

I don’t think most big YouTubers care much about YouTube ad revenue these days, they make so much more money from audience manipulation (e.g. sponsor spots) so the current peertube system would be fine.
I honestly think the biggest current issues are that it costs a lot of money to host peertube because of the high resource requirements (storage costs are compounding as well) and that the network effect means that very few people will use it
