"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.

At least with physical books, for example, you can just take them home to read and no one will randomly yank them away from you, unlike both YT and also DRM-ridden e-book stores like Kindle.

Hell, if you straight-up buy physical books, they're yours to do as you please with.

Also...

Ideally, video creators would just host on their own website (remember those) and maybe let viewers pipe the video through a frontend of their choosing.

  • That's literally what PeerTube lets you do, well, OK, it doesn't let you host your own website ala Geocities or its modern replacement, Neocities, but it lets you host your own instance and it also lets you use whatever front-end you want, at least in theory. It doesn't go out of its way to shut down alt front-ends like YT does, in other words.

The library analogy may not be prefect but I figured my point was clear in that you're allowed to look through all the books for free despite not owning them, and the librarians can remove any book at any time for any reason.
