Can someone explain me why creators cant do both? Reupload a mirror on peertube.

Its in their interest to have a solid backup when youtube inevitably dies.

I don't think "don't chime in if you don't actually know, or just ask instead of make a baseless assertion", is "insulting". If anything it's just bluntly pushing for better nettiquette, and coming out swinging in the manner your post did does no favors.

Just take time before posting to ask yourself "is this asking a question, or am I making an assertion I'll excuse as being a question later instead of just asking?" Your post was very much the latter. I don't think you intended it, but it's a byproduct of conditioning short-length social media engagement has kind of created in many of us overtime. It's healthy to undo that.

I apologize. I thought you were someone that completely blew up when they read my comment.

It’s a singular circle

I apologize. I thought you were someone that completely blew up when they read my comment. You didn't insult me

He has a huge bias against Macs. I suspect you won’t be receptive to that idea.

There’s a general sense of consoles and other devices being beneath the channel. Little comments often surface during news segments that touch on them. It’s not that they don’t acknowledge them.

And with how shitty Microsoft is, you’d think they would be more even handed about the whole thing.

But this is filtered though my sensitive ears because I came up with Mac gaming and console gaming, and I’m sensitive to when people are dismissive of other options. The same thing use to happen to Linux until the Steam Deck and associated software support from valve forced people out of treating all Linux gaming as an afterthought.

Why is it a big deal? Don’t you agree with Linus that clickbait is just part of the game, and we should accept the sensational thumbnails and titles? Hate the game, not the player and all that?

That's definitely an option. It would be a good idea for him to do that, I think. But my main point is that losing YouTube would be devastating for GN regardless of whether or not they're on peertube, and moving entirely to peertube isn't really feasible for them

this is speculation, but it's possible that youtube don't like it when large mainstream creators have backup platforms and will start cracking down.

Their bread and butter is hardware reviews and weekly news. No, they're not a drama channel. Just because that's the only time you, personally, hear about them doesn't mean the rest of us work that way.

Telling Linus to fuck off is a good idea regardless of views.

So I am completely ignorant about this, but... Would just hosting torrents to their own content work? I know the revenue might not be the same, but, would it be possible to keep it going around?

Yeh, absolutely.
The DMCA takedown works because music/film industry execs have previously gone after YouTube for not responding to legitimate copyright infringements.
So YouTube now favours the person claiming the strike and makes it very difficult for the defendant to exonerate themselves.

Changing how they publish will sidestep YouTube overplaying.
But YouTube has revenue split with content creators, and has an absolutely massive audience with discovery algorithms and community stuff. Moving away from that platform would be an insane move

Nobody is gonna watch a torrent tuber, the audience would get cut to 1/100th if even that.

Too many people rely on the aggregates and the algorithms.

Simp spotted. Tech drama Jesus isn't gonna like you more for defending him, he doesn't even care that you exist.

I don't have an interest in being liked by Steve. I do have an interest in journalism outlets who are willing to say that a $4T market cap company is full of shit.

Oh I did not know this, thanks for the correction. And you're right about sponsors. I'd be curious to hear the thoughts of a more income-minded content creator on whether this model is viable and what it would take to make it work.

Sounds like YouTubers should go after YouTube when this happens. Maybe a class action lawsuit for lost revenue?

"small."

Make no mistake. Gamers Nexus is a multi million dollar company.

Sure, Bloomberg is much, much bigger. But while gamers Nexus is the underdog, it's not the toothless underdog. That little fucker will bite in bloomberg's ankles before it dies and tbf: it looks like it's already yapping and took it's first bite.

There is no good answer to it.

It is ridiculous that a channel which uploads thousands of authentic original content can lose all algorithm momentum from a frivolous DMCA strike removing their video for 10 days.
It basically guarantees a video gets killed. Even if the video gets reinstated after an appeal.

This particular video will massively bounce back. People are angry at Nvidia, people are angry with YouTube and with YouTubes DMCA process, and now people are angry at Bloomberg.
And Gamers Nexus isn't gonna let this drop, and GN has earned its communities trust (and I think trust in general) that there will be flocks of people ensuring the video doesn't die.

But if this was a smaller channel releasing a massive expose like this, it would probably just drop out off the public's radar before it gets established

These people don't understand what a class war looks like...
