Any idea of this guy made any significant impact when he installed Linux recently?

If he’s “going all in on deGoogling”, perhaps he should be using a Youtube alternative?
Please list here all the alternatives that also pay their creators and let you run ads:
Wasnt yt adds laughably underpaid and thats the reason all the videos have sponsors nowdays? With that in mind, he is big enough to switch and keep his sponsors/clicks
Nope, nobody is. Case in point: Twitch.
Multiple people have tried moving out, but they always come back.
YouTube ads pay a fuckton of money compared to any sponsorships. And sponsors pay more based on views and demographics, which YouTube also provides.
You just can’t make YouTube moneys by hosting an mp4 with sponsor ads, not ever.
I think it’s not about money. It’s the audience.
Maybe this arc leads somewhere better though. He might be big enough to cause a paradigm shift eventually.
LTT isn’t small (Linus is tho) and they have their own site, Floatplane
They still make most of their income from YouTube
maybe this might revive Pewdiepie grow again???
