      If all the good content is still there, people will stay there. Open and ethical platforms need to have content to become an alternative. I hope this content is hosted on PeerTube and other platforms as well.

        They need to solve paying creators and also what happens when if they get big. How do they scale. Hate YouTube all you want it costs a lot of money to run it and I don’t see federated service replacing it. Also the fact everything us still up there I see that being hard in federation.

          I don’t think it needs to be solved, they motivate people to support through other means and have a dedicated support button. Sponsorships are also a thing.

          Regarding scaling, as the name implies, PeerTube makes use of Peer-to-Peer technology to reduce the load of platforms and it’s federated without an “official” instance, which allows content creators to spread across different instances, spreading the load it comes with.
