"The Fediverse has its own full-fledged YouTube alternative that possesses some unique superpowers thanks to ActivityPub. In the previous article in this series I covered what it’s like to use PeerTube from the point of view of a casual user:

Today’s post will discuss: how to use the software as a video creator – and its advantages over video hosting platforms by Big Tech companies."

    Is there a way for larger channels to monetize? Because having a smaller amount of viewers on peertube means less from in video ads and less people clicking affiliate links so I can’t really see a ton of larger channels moving over unless instances can have ads to help monetize things.

      They should post their videos on both platforms.

      I suppose if it’s a big enough channel a lot of their viewers might follow and there’s nothing stopping putting Affiliated links in the description. No ads on YouTube so need to have a patron or liberapay or whatever.
