Man I want to move to Graphene so bad. I want all the google ripped out of my phone.
Dude’s having an interesting life trajectory
Waiting for the episode where he finds out who owns YouTube 🫠
I see you didn’t make it 40s into the video.
That boy doing so much work for privacy and linux communities. I love it!
Imagine if some big influencers like him switched to peertube, that would be quiet a thing indeed.
I’m loving Pewdie’s redemption arc
That’s going to be one long arc though
Let’s hope so.
What’s next, Open source electric car? Building and living in an Earth Ship?
Earth ships are so cool
I was actually kinda wondering the other day why super large content creators with good cash flow from what they already do, don’t ditch Google and Patreon or anything else that takes a cut to be nothing more than a middleman to accessing the content? They don’t need to host on the same level as YouTube; they could probably make more money hosting their videos on their own website, where they can control what is free or paid for, and can work directly with advertisers themselves.
Streaming video is expensive. LTT did it with Floatplane, even going so far as to develop their own backend. Watcher and some other YouTubers did it with Vimeo as their backend, but Vimeo still takes a large cut.
At the end of the day, people are doing this, but YouTube still offers a compelling value compared to other platforms. It’s hard to beat their scale, sophistication, and the discoverability of their platform.
