A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

So, given AI is destroying YT, if you're any sort of a creator at all, even if you just have some random posts from years ago that you uploaded with no intention of getting popular, you really should move your stuff to PeerTube, ideally on a self-hosted instance if you have the hardware to spare, while you still can, because things are only going to get worse for YT.

Even Odysee is a decent alternative if you want more traction, but PeerTube is more ideal as an alternative platform due to having the ability to self-host an instance there and have complete control of your content and presence down to owning the infrastructure you're posting on.

Users can't leave because the videos they want to watch are on youtube, and creators can't leave because their audience is on youtube.

They CAN leave. They just don’t want to. It’s easy to just walk away from something. Let’s not treat it like it’s an addiction. They’re just videos. You may think you’re supporting the creator, but you’re really just supporting YouTube.

If someone hates what they’re doing, they’d stop using their services. If they continue to use it, they either don’t hate it that much or need to STFU about how much they hate it.
