Mods, did you know there is peertube channel already cloning from youtube?
Might it be worth crossposting those?

Even generally liked creators that have their own peertube. Like Veronica explains. I would be a bit more tempted to watch on YouTube unless I was supporting via patreon. I suppose the one middle ground on that would be regarding advertisements. I did try to watch some videos signed out on a system that was stock....... holy hell that did suck.
Floatplane is out of Canada run by LTT and Peertube is French. Two completely different companies, I thought.
They are different, but peertube is opensource and part of the fediverse. Hence the ability to crosspost from LTT and even to comment on peertube videos from places like mbin or mastodon.
Why does everything have to be binary with you people? I watch them once in a while and don't want to use a proprietary platform. Even if I watched their youtube channel, it'd be through a privacy frontend so they wouldn't get the views anyway.
If they saw that an unofficially copied channel garnered a lot of views, they might be tempted to make an official presence. If all we do is go "they'll never come here, I'll watch them on youtube", well, you know what'll happen.
That's at least trinary right there. 4 if you count the paragraph afterward. But my apologies for trying to start discussion and get some engagement in what's generally a pretty dead community. I didn't realize you had an axe to grind. I will keep that in mind in the future.
