Well, that was the first PewDiePie video I've ever watched...
Strange that he didn't mention leaving YouTube behind though!
It was like the first thing, he said he can't escape that. But pretty much everything else.
I imagine he's one who could ditch YouTube.
He could spin up his own PeerTube instance just for him to post to. Then tell everyone to follow him there and Mastodon. If only 20% of his audience does it, he'd still make out like a bandit.
I wonder if Floatplane would take him lmao.
He gets a good chunk of money off YouTube.
Like, where exactly is the revenue stream there? I'm on peertube and that isn't paying off for me yet lol
Sponsorships, Ad reads, Product placement.
He doesn't need Google inserting ads, they pay pennies compared to other direct deals.
All of those venues wont be reaching out to you if you are not on YouTube or have enough reach on a different platform. I do hope content creators post on multiple platform but it is not reasonable to think that they can just flip a switch and start posting outside of YouTube.
Of course! Which is why I said 20% of his audience would need to switch with him. And obviously there would be a transition. Nobody said anything to suggest otherwise.
he would be stupid, even the passive ad revenue is crazy compared to my salary.
he might get into a weird place, cause youtube doesnt like to promote degoogling and asblocking and the channel might get tagged.
Something tells me PewDiePie is not getting an invite to Nebula any time soon!
