I would like to see more content relating to the last interview in the video with Mr. Pigeon. Truly think he has great arguments that need further airtime

So controversial, yet so brave
No! I'm sick of these influencers giving a platform to fascist birds. Enough is enough! #cancelmrpigeon

Time to move to nebula? :)
Or better yet PeerTube.
Every substantial youtube channel should be hosting and backing up to a self-hosted, owned, peertube.
Issue is such channels need giant amounts of storage for this.
Linus tech Tips showed his multiple upgrades over the years it's quite crazy what they need on storage space.
Not just storage, but bandwidth. Streaming one video to potentially thousands of people at once can get very expensive.
LTT storage is excessive. He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format. Plus if you're a youtuber with millions of subscribers you can afford to pay for a few TB of storage to hold and serve your videos. Its not that expensive.
Not after you lose your channel and all your income. PeerTube doesn't appeal to people who make a living at this because there's no revenue stream.
there is revenue stream. liberapay is integrated, get your viewers to subscribe through there. they can donate any amount, literally.
then its also common that content creators cooperate with companies, mostly tech companies, to advertise their products. that can still be done on peertube. what they can't anymore is to show generic ads for everyone every few minutes.

As someone who worked for years in video transcoding, archiving, streaming, and content management in general: there are absolutely ways to do this efficiently in a self hosted context. You could absolutely build a system that fits your bespoke needs in all of these categories.

With many, many servers, otherwise things would go down fast on each new video release. And each server having a fuckton of bandwidth, too. That's not free.
its fine if its first and foremost a backup, and not a public platform. then you don't need the bandwidth. then they can open it up when google deleted their channel. they still need to figure out the capacity issues, but at least the content was not lost.

I don't know if I'm stupid or not but I tried going to peertube and I couldn't for the life of my understand what I was looking at. It just seemed like a vague soup of instances with no continuity or ability to know what I was looking at. Maybe I accessed it wrong but I didn't fully get it.
These days I am looking at their video on their channel on Rumble while working. I think they are achieving financial and political pressure in the most wholesome way possible.
That said, I don't think I am going to click on anything else on Rumble, as it is all Tucker Calson, bitcoin and other shit like that. I don't see any future in it; it has achieved Dailymotion status in no time.
