"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.

The issue is that video creation is a lot more labor intensive and YouTube does two things for creators that PeerTube doesn't. First, the algorithm builds an audience. Cutting out YouTube or another video social media site is going to make audience creation a lot harder. Second, ad revenue from social media sites are greater than zero. It may not be a lot of money, but it is something.

On the flip side, there is nothing inherent to PeerTube or similar platforms which will filter AI slop.

5 million views = $5

As much as I don't like corporations, let's not be disingenuous.

According to this site, if those 5 million views were accrued over a year, projected yearly earnings are $37,507.

According to this one, 5 million total views converts to about $20,000.
