As a wanna be creator: do you think PT is ready to bring visibility to new creators? It's stable?

What happen if an instance blocks a channel? Can I transfer my videos maintaining views? Thanks!

You can absolutely share your videos and livestreams with it. Technically it is all working well and also includes nice tools to migrate or mirror your content from Youtube etc.

But there is no real audience and even relatively well known tech vbloggers often get only low double digit views on their videos.

What is a "real audience"? If we are going to compare to YouTube, we are going to be disappointed every time, but I don't think it's a fair comparison or even a necessary comparison.

Do you think starting on PT right now will bring any advantage in a probable future when youtube will fuckupthings?
