    Seems feasible considering every attempt to discuss using more Fediverse just gets ignored. Like Peertube is sitting right there, but everyone that joined Mastodon instances is sharing YouTube links.

    But people are like this in general, so it might be just predictable behaviour.

    Friendi.ca is a Facebook alternative, but I don’t want to leave anonymity again.

    Pixelfed is a good Instagram alternative.

      People are still using YouTube because it still works for them. Once Google ships something that changes that, folks will start looking for alternatives. Same goes for Owncast and Twitch.

        I feel like the problem with moving away from youtube is that the larger chanels making money off of it arent going to want to move because they wont get monitized if they do. If they do move it will probably be to another corperate platform.

        I really dont like what youtube is planning on doing by restricting adblockers and adding more unskippable ads though. Hopefully that moves at least some people to peertube.

          I think any channel that’s able to get away with crowdfunded monetization like Ko-Fi or Patreon would be able to make the switch comfortably.
