Er. 'I am done with Google'. Watch the video on YouTube...
I mean where else is he going to reach the most YouTube/Google users?
For Pewdiepie this makes a lot of sense, he was literally the top youtuber. But uploading also somewhere else (no exclusivity required) needs to become mainstream yesterday. We have technical colleges far from the US posting educational video content for a website embed on youtube only, it's madness 😅
Exactly!
Where would be a general purpose place to use as the second platform? Something that's easy to use (and ofc not even more immoral than youtube, so not rumble or things like that).
A lot of the better creators are on Nebula. I don’t think they’d take Pewds though.
Nebula is like netflix, not youtube
Fair enough, but I was saying in the "this should become common practice" sense. I don't think anyone can just post there since it's owned by the creators, so you have to join them, it's a package deal.

Peertube would be my choice, thanks to p2p one won't burden an instance if a video gets too popular. Just found a nice interface to find a good instance as a videomaker depending on topic, requirements, etc: https://joinpeertube.org/instances?profile=video-maker
As with the rest of the fediverse, autonomous institutions like universities should ideally have their own instance or join a collective. Embeds get the same p2p benefits and they seem super easy to implement
I always thought it was a federated kind of platform. Not really p2p. Why do you need an instance if its p2p?
It's p2p between the watchers, but files are hosted on a server (an instance of Peertube). With just one person watching a video there's no p2p, only server-client.
“I’m done with capitalism” he writes on a phone paid for with 😧 MONEY 👻
Hey, it could be stolen.
and trying to get on the grift train of hating google. seems like hes some what desperate to comeback to yt, trying to recapture old glory days, of course all that sweet money comes with it.
What exactly is the grift of suggesting Foss over Google? You think he's getting kickbacks? And if you just mean the "grift" of getting paid for YouTube videos... I mean, if people are watching it and it's good information is that really a "grift", seems like just getting paid for giving good information. Better than the majority of YouTube.
I like how Lemmy somehow still finds negativity here. Never change lmao.
An internet celebrity in the millions of followers is going FOSS. Cheer up. On the downstream, this may bring Lemmy more users and put more visibility on open software.
