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.

Also, it's overtly stupid advice to "move" anywhere. You can re-upload the same thing in multiple places if you want to, there isn't only one copy, lol.

Bottom line is, creators will stay/go where the audience is. There is no place that is even close to 1% of the size of YouTube, for that type of content.
