Sadly a lot of content is only on YouTube, and you only live once.
People do upload to other sites, especially when YouTube won't host it, but sadly sometimes it's banned for a good reason.
I hope either Grayjay will take off or something like it will, because lowering the barrier to getting users to switch platforms is the right way forward. If enough creators upload to multiple sites, users can choose the site they like the most.
I wish more people used Peertube, but the monetization issue needs to be "solved" somehow.
For situations like encouraging authors of works where I lack specific solution to the issue then I fall back on old reliable: universal basic income. When people work as a matter of getting money for a better life, rather than survival, then people are able to take bigger risks when it comes to creative works.
I know, let's add crypto somehow!
Cody Doctorow talks about this. I won't quote the link because the whole text is basically that, why people stick to hostile platforms.
Sorry - I posted this link as further info for anyone who's reading this. I didn't want to convey that you need it; if someone else does want/need it, great.
