"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

If this isn't a warning sign to leave YT as a creator, nothing will be. (youtube.com)

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.

I’ve heard good things about Floatplane as well. Mainly from DankPods

Or even Nebula if you work in the education/DIY or documentary niches; assuming you can get a big enough audience, you could theoretically sell premium content on Nebula to fund your free content on PeerTube or Odysee.

I won't be surprised if there was an art/entertainment or commentary niche equivalent for Nebula somewhere, unless Floatplane is that equivalent.

Nebula is awesome and is one of many paths that lead away from Youtube. I like and recommend any and every path that leads away from Youtube. The more paths away from Youtube there are, and the more that get taken, the better. Every creator should explore as many of these paths as they can.

YouTube lets absolutely anyone upload a video, even if it will only get tens of views from their immediate friends, meaning someone can start making videos and grow organically.

I don't think Floatplane lets just anyone upload.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Totally true, but existing creators need a way to do subscriptions and raise money to fund the channels, which Floatplane provides.

Right tool for the job and all that.

Oh definitely, it serves a valid role. It's not a direct replacement for YouTube though.
