Everytime I go on Odysee, the content there seems to drift more and more towards conspiracy theories, complete disinformation and nonsense, or at worst ultra racist / xenophobic / hateful rethoric. The staff has a history of just saying amen to everything, including white supremacist stuff.
I’ve been thinking of abandoning it (I would keep PeerTube as the alternative to YouTube for people who really don’t want to use YT). Out of curiosity, a little poll about my content:
@thelinuxEXP Odysee was something I was extremely suspicious about, their decentralization approach and other web3 stuff didn't exactly make me excited. This stuff that you just told however now marks the final straw for me :blobcatfluffangry:
I recommend those who use #Odysee to switch to #Peertube as that is compatible with the Fediverse and isn't shady about their practices (especially the staff...)
@thelinuxEXP
This is actually why I moved to watching you on #peertube instead - I love the idea behind #odysee, but unfortunately it does have aspects which appeal to that alt-right body of the internet searching for a platform because they were "silenced by the mainstream platforms"
I don't think it's enough. Smaller, more niche creators who don't post as often can't rely on subscribers' payments because they can't create enough content to attract subscribers.
There needs to be a platform-wide monetization solution for this, such as revenue sharing, which YouTube Premium offers to partnered channels.
Realistically, smaller niche creators aren't making any reasonable income on YT via revenue sharing anyway. That's assuming they can even get over the initial monetization hurdles Google puts in place.
At the end of the day, just post your content to both. Pick a #PeerTube instance and then upload it to YT and mirror the content on PeerTube. Most people viewing content in the fediverse won't watch YT anyway, so they're not losing any audience.

geez, thanks
@meljoann As I say, you'd need to find a #Peertube instance that federates with the channels you're interested in. You could even set up you're own.... but it would be easier to just build something that takes the RSS feeds that Peertube channels povide and use that instead...
You can report problematic posts or profiles by clicking their ⋯ button and selecting "Report".
Remember to include links to problematic posts in your report. This saves the moderators a LOT of time, and means the moderation will happen much more quickly and accurately.
If possible, select the option to anonymously tell the account holder's server too. They can shut down the account if necessary. (However, if their server is problematic too, it might be best not to use this option.)
I just tested today that, when I reported recent spammer's comment on my #PeerTube video and the report was hastily approved, that sick comment didn't federate throughout most servers. Email notification was timely, hehe. In other scenario, it would likely still be visible to users of wider #Fediverse, as what I witness with one that I was slower to catch on.
This doesn't really answer the question *, sure clients will have various monetization models (though WTH is transactions). The issue is what is the server/Bluesky PBLLC business model?
Are they going to start putting ads in the feed? Are they going to charge users or clients for access? Stay free and make it up in volume? I have no clue, not sure anyone does either.
OK, had to close then open new accounts on #visionontv#peertube because of #spam, the spam is starting agen - the is an update that allows you to put new accounts on ask/moderation, we need to upgrade at some point to get this.
I was thinking earlier that it would be pretty cool to have an #ActivityPub-powered app that uses something like the old #WordPress#PostFormats feature that, in turn, supports post formats that other #Fediverse services use.
For example, the app can post regular posts like this one, structured link posts that work with services like #Lemmy, galleries through @pixelfed and videos through #Peertube.
Unless #ActivityPub automatically reformats posts based on what they contain when a user of services like these receives them in their feeds? I'm not sure how this works under the metaphorical hood. 🤔
