    Hear me out.

    Creators should be hosting peer tubes. And they should host exclusively their own content. Fans of their can subscribe to whatever systems they want to pay and support.

    For creators, it’s a backup for when YouTube the project inevitably fails. For fans as well. But it’s also a backup of their content.

      Tech-savvy content creators, sure…

      Your average content creator that wants to make Minecraft videos? Unrealistic.

      I hate the monopoly Youtube has, but all of the federated alternatives have a learning curve the general public isn’t willing to deal with.
