So, given AI is destroying YT, if you’re any sort of a creator at all, even if you just have some random posts from years ago that you uploaded with no intention of getting popular, you really should move your stuff to PeerTube, ideally on a self-hosted instance if you have the hardware to spare, while you still can, because things are only going to get worse for YT.
Even Odysee is a decent alternative if you want more traction, but PeerTube is more ideal as an alternative platform due to having the ability to self-host an instance there and have complete control of your content and presence down to owning the infrastructure you’re posting on.
If you’ve got enough bandwidth from home to serve video, some megacorp is controlling it ;). I’ve used icecast through a VPS to serve live video publicly. I thought peertube was something like youtube but I haven’t looked at it.
PeerTube is federated YT basically, and a megacorp isn’t controlling your instance when it’s on a physical server you own, especially if it’s a private instance where you’re the only one who uploads.
