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.
Good suggestion, funnelling is a good idea. Could work well if there was more content on PeerTube than YouTube. Pretty much what Dropout does with their content now that I think about it.
They don’t even funnel in just their audience - their funnel also converts them to paying subscribers. They seem to be growing healthily, so I’d try it if I were a video creator on YouTube.
