    People do upload to other sites, especially when YouTube won’t host it, but sadly sometimes it’s banned for a good reason.

      I hope either Grayjay will take off or something like it will, because lowering the barrier to getting users to switch platforms is ideal.

      I wish more people used Peertube, but the monetization issue needs to be “solved” somehow.

        For situations like encouraging authors of works where I lack specific solution to the issue then I fall back on old reliable: [universal basic income](Universal basic income). When people work as a matter of getting money for a better life, rather than survival, then people are able to take bigger risks when it comes to creative works.

        Sorry - I posted this link as further info for anyone who’s reading this. I didn’t want to convey that you need it; if someone else does want/need it, great.
