I'm trying to encourage people to use other video services in general but getting out of YT jail is pretty hopeless. Happy when I do see a non-YT vid tho.
It's a vicious circle.
People don't use other video services because there aren't much content.
Content creator don't upload their videos to other video services because there aren't viewers.
It costs content creators almost nothing to upload to PeerTube in addition to Youtube. Shifter and Oh The Urbanity! manage it; why can't others?
People don't host video sites because of how demanding and not profitable it is.
YouTube doesn't break even. Google runs it at a loss just to have that advantage.
And hosting lots of videos is expensive
We’re not passengers but participants, let us not be complicit in feeding the beast.
I run two insignificant communities for posting vids. Gotta post YT to have something, but I try to find alternatives and encourage others too.
