I thought it would be nice to hear about everyone's favourite European content creators. (Not for self-promotion)

Platform doesn't matter but if you know a good channel on peertube etc. even better.

How is this relevant?

Content creators often discuss and review products and services. They are the first stop for many people when they are looking for information about something. I think it's important to grow viewership for European content creators which in turn would grow demand for more EU wide product reviews etc.

More than a commercial point-of-view โ€“ news, travel tips, culture and just daily life are things we should conciously share and take an interest in here in Europe. Again, build an EU wide viewership and a feedback cycle for European content.

So who do you follow? Who's your local authority in insert hobby here?

I wish all European content creators, would mirror their content on a peertybe server. I might even watch more videos if it wasn't on YouTube

[โ€“] peaches@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

I started uploading my youtube videos there as well. Starting from my oldest ones. I am not a big youtuber, I donโ€™t have sponsorships and so, although I am monetized on YouTube I make very little because I do it as a hobby outside of work, son donโ€™t upload to often. I donโ€™t know about the big channels, that do have sponsorships, if they would be limited by that part to post on PeerTube.

+1 for Barbero, you can find him on many podcasts and on YouTube (none of the accounts are managed by him, but he knows)

[โ€“] ijon_the_human@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Thank you, great list!

As to your question, personally, both! Translations are often available and sometimes language isn't even a barrier! Also helps with language learning if it happens to be in your target language.

[โ€“] MrRain19@feddit.it 3 points 1 week ago

I unfortunately know nothing about Peertube, the only creator I follow that also has a Peertube channel is Veronica Explains (Linux content)

[โ€“] MrRain19@feddit.it 2 points 1 week ago

I guess so, thanks!

SsethTzeentach - Danish video game reviewer that can't be described without using the word edgy. But it's the good kind of edgy...most the time. Example: Starsector Review | Explore the Cosmosโ„ข | Ruin Everythingโ„ข
