    Since video hosting is difficult, and there’s monetization, it won’t be very soon. Video hosting platforms are more resillient of enshittification side effects, and Alphabet will rather lose money on hosting videos, than let go off of a monopoly they have through YouTube.

      Monetization is stupid, uploading both on youtube and peertube is easy. User using adblock don’t generate monetization anyway. Also, there’s all the sponsors nowadays

        Many have to rely on YouTube premium instead, as adblocking is getting more and more difficult, and also difficult on mobile.

        Monetization is how many can allow themselves to make videos. Not everyone can find a part-time job, that still pays enough to at least somewhat sustain yourself.
