Unfortunately I don't know of any other platform that would pay creators like YouTube does which is half the reason the YouTube keeps creators.

I hate the crypto bros as much as but I wonder if there is a way to set up a federated video sharing network that has a $5 monthly fee and distribute it over the creators you watcher over the month.

@Bardak if you post a video on a topic that YouTube deems problematic then it doesn't pay you either (i.e. the demonetize that video).

Many youtubers are on platforms that accept donations tho (like Patreon), so for some, the monetization isn't that much of an issue.
