Because Google ads isn’t the only source of income nor the biggest.

Best you can do is ask some of these content creators to also post their videos to PeerTube.

PeerTube has built-in syncing of YouTube channels, so it’s fairly easy once it’s set up.

It’s all just part of their addons, so you choose yourself if you want AI. You can even choose to have local AI, if you don’t want to use an external AI, which I believe is ChatGPT.

The Hetzner Storage Share lacks a lot of features that Nextcloud IONOS have. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Hetzner has an office suite for Nextcloud?

What about private messages between users?

Exactly. Linux will never become the majority OS as long as it’s not the default OS on retail PCs.

What do you mean? It’s embedded from Peertube, so you should be able to play the video directly, unless you are using a client that’s does not support it.

The software is free, but hardware is not. You could buy an old laptop or even something really cheap, like an Orange Pi Zero.

Yes, he says he’s dependent on the ad revenue. However, no one is asking for him to drop YouTube. Also posting on PeerTube will simply have him reach more viewers. It won’t move viewers away from YouTube.

Go forth, and self-host all the things!

He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏

Thanks. Fixed :)

The storage providers set their own prices and the renters set how much they want to pay.

Just storing data is very cheap at $1.51/TB.

I have used it before and it worked just fine. Just don’t use it for PeerTube 😅

Instances / Servers

I’m not talking about ads.

Set it up and ask other PeerTube servers to mirror your videos, so that viewers will stream the video from there as well.

It’s possible to filter only local videos.

One thing that might get more content creators on PeerTube could be “advertising” as not just a video platform, but also a backup service.

I’m guessing most content creators have their original video and video project files backed up somewhere. Why not have the ability to use PeerTube for that?

You can already have PeerTube store the original video file, when you upload it, something YouTube can’t do.
