We all keep saying that AI is ruining the platform... Well, Google and YouTube have doubled down on AI slop. They want creators to use ai as much as possible to churn out content that they can better monetize... they also want to train on our videos so they can create their own ai influencers... it's dystopian.

I was aware of the AI replies, but not of the AI video inspiration tool. That is depressing.

I think the best way forward is to talk to creators and get them to move platforms, but I don't know what to recommend based on available tools, revenue share, and ease of use.

Is PeerTube the only one that fits these criteria?

Nebula is an alternative, it is creator-owned and against AI

Invite-only, I'm afraid.

Peertube is great as a technology. Works very well. At the moment, it doesn't have the network effect, but its growing bit by bit naturally. Unfortunately, creators would have to work with the instance admins for monetization. Or create their own.

With patreon/other sources of income, it may be less or an issue. Inadvertently Youtube de-monetizing videos and creators coming up with other ways of making money means their platform becomes less and less relevant.

I hope creators will move slowly more and more to PeerTube. I think that is the only way.

And/Or new ones start using it.

Yes of course.

Peertube does not meet those criteria. YouTube is a functioning monopoly in its space.
