I don’t particularly watch/like PewDiePie, but he is joining the train and spreading the word, which is awesome. He is self hosting services and using GrapheneOS now.

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.
He gets a good chunk of money off YouTube.
I wonder if Floatplane would take him lmao.
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.
My point was more on the sponsorship rather than the transition. Even if you manage to move 20% of the audience, the sponsorship amount would be less than 20%. Most companies play it safe and allocate budget for proven marketing platforms and wouldn’t be willing to put much on a new platform. So while it takes someone to switch platform and convince their audience, there wouldn’t be adsense money or sponsorships with no guarantee they would even make 10% of what they used to make on YouTube. Most youtubers are after the money and if anyone is doing it as full time job, that would be an unreasonable request.
