>Some in the fediverse ask why I'm not on Peertube. Here's the problem (and it's not insurmountable): right now, there's no easy path towards sustainable content production when the audience for the content is 100x smaller, and the number of patrons/sponsors remains proportionally the same.

Damn, usually I'm not this dumb but thx for the reference I didn't even see it. My take is; YouTube is currently your only option if you want to try to make a living as a video content creator but if you want to casually make content and share it with your audience or your friends and family then you can definitely try PeerTube.
