Yeah that’s the problem here

Look at OPs other posts. They’re just spreading hate.

This isn’t really specific to federated software. The client can go offline but the server can’t. Same applies to all centralized services.

They’ll just sue them.

Yeah that claim seems fairly unsubstantiated by the rest of the article. It’s probably bullshit.

Encourages users to just add a rotating number or other not too secure thing to their password. I know that’s what I did when I worked somewhere with that dumbfuck policy.

if it's not free what's the benefit of using PeerTube? You're basically describing nebula

You're allowed to upload the same .mp4 file to multiple websites. There's absolutely no reason why a creator that isn't getting YouTube ad money couldn't upload to YouTube and PeerTube at the same time. Presumably if they're getting YouTube monetization, they have some kind of exclusivity agreement.

Seems unlikely that a creator would jump ship from a platform that pays them to a platform that doesn’t. That being said, lots of creators also constantly complain about demonetization, so maybe they’ll start to get fed up and move to purely in-video sponsorship things. Seems most likely from a creator that’s already on a platform like nebula
