YouTube, when the walls fell

Yes, it’s a shame he doesn’t seem to be considering PeerTube
- The main thing is, to make it a viable option it would need at least thousands of viewers per video, and I'd need to figure out a new way to market that to any potential sponsors (or build up my Patreon/GH/direct support to make up for the vast gap in ad/sponsorship dollars).

  He should continue on YouTube as he’s always done and then slowly build his presence on PeerTube.
  Just because he starts also putting his videos on PeerTube, wouldn’t mean he suddenly lost all his viewers on YouTube.
  
  @geerlingguy@mastodon.social needs to sync his content. It shouldn't cost him much (if anything). If he has viewers willing to watch him on peertube, but they simply can't and they are forced to watch him on youtube. You can't build viewers on peertube by waiting for others or not uploading it to it.
  That's basically the case for everbody on youtube going "but there's nobody on peertube". Yeah, it'll probably stay that way if you don't upload to peertube. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
- Because it's not an alternative to people with YouTube as a job. It's great if you want to have a couple of videos hosted and watchable by others. There is no way to monetize them by their very definition and mission statement. Their own website says it was "created for non-commercial purposes". It's his job though, so he's not the target demographic.
  You could integrate sponsors, which he doesn't do on YouTube either. Or redirect to patron or similar services.
  There's also no (or very little) discoverable for people who watch sometime similar, which YouTube actually does extremely well. So how do you grow your audience?

  There absolutely is:
  merch sales
  sponsorships
  donations
  The only monetization you'd be missing out on is AdSense.

  Who? Peertube? What it was created for doesn't matter when they don't run your channel.
  
  If he only lives on Adsense, sure. But even then, if he posted to PeerTube as well, would he actually be missing out on Adsense money, considering the few viewers in PeerTube atm?

Shaka, when his videos were demonitized.
