MODERATORS
I'm just hoping that Peertube is in a spot to capitalize when Youtube crashes and burns in a couple of years
It's not. I wish it was, but it's not.
I meant more as "will be" when the time comes
I'm not hopeful. Video hosting is a different ball game, and free video platforms only exist due to the deep pockets and "users now, profit later" strategy of big tech.
The only way I see it working is where creators pay for the hosting costs of their own content and monetize on their own terms.
