Hi! sorry for the random topic 😅

Youtube keeps getting more and more annoying. Is there a good other platform where to migrate? If people were to migrate, where would they go?

the thing I liked about youtube is the massive amount of content, and knowing that if I upload a video, it’s really easy to watch by others. I like the ability to follow channels too.

    YTP views are worth more to content creators. There’s no ads.

    This is false, and I would argue that YTP generates significantly less revenue for content creators than even a dollar donation would over hundreds of videos.

    YTP, when I had it, was still serving ads AND using trackers, which is not something I want to pay Google for.

    For context, I have a YT channel with 3+ million views and tens of thousands of subscribers. YTP generates 1% of YouTube revenue, while ads make up the 99% difference.

    Most people will have a handful of content creators that they regularly watch. If you took the YTP amount and split it between those creators as donations, you’ve made them far more than YouTube ads or YTP ever could.

    That’s my advice, as a content creator.
