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.

You can diversify your income without culling your primary source of income. Asking people to uproot their livelihood and fire their employees isn't that... Great.

Anybody receiving income from a site they do not control should diversify. Ideally they should have their own site and use uncontrolled sites to funnel people to that site. That way a platform ban does not kill all income.

But distributing content only on your own site would also kill all income

I agree 100%.

The idea is to use the other platforms to attempt to get people to use your site first (funnel) in order to cut out the middleman.
