Peertube is now available on f-druid

I guess you're right. Reportedly, ad revenue is getting worse all the time. I've tried finding some recent numbers from some channel but seems very few of them make their income transparent. I know one or two, but they don't do sponsoring in the usual way... But I guess it's true and lots of channels rely on sponsorships and Patreon these days. From what I read. That would certainly make it easier to switch to a platform that doesn't have ads in the first place. I kind of missed that. That'd mean it's down to the network effect. But I'd like to see some exact numbers. Ultimately, we'd need to cater for a lot of different creators, from Mark Rober to Kurzgesagt to someone doing it for fun. And ad revenue would have to be really bad, because lots of the popular and big youtubers earn their livelihood on the video platform. And even a paycut of like 20% might be unacceptable to them...

YouTube is about earning money with ad revenue
If you watch anyone who actually discloses their income, adsense is usually a fairly small %.
Most of it comes from donations, direct sales, product placements, etc.
-
Do you happen to know anyone who disclose their income, and does both sponsorships and Adsense? I've tried looking it up but either it's old articles or the people are more tied to their community and don't really do sponsorings in the first place. I'd be interested to read some numbers... Ideally contrasting all available sources like advertisements, paid sponsoring and community donations.

Yes it’s very much a beta test.
Cool that they are working on an app, though.
Although I personally find the UI to be confusingz

LTT does long and detailed breakdowns periodically

Yeah, I wouldn't want to do payment processing either. Thanks for the information though, as I haven't really used Peertube since I don't use YouTube much.
-
Even minor revenue cut is a revenue cut, that's true. The creators would need to be believers, or YouTube would need to so a fuck up.
Realistically though, best we can hope for for now is them crossposting to both YouTube and PeerTube

That's news to me. Spent a lot of time in the pagan community when I was young and stupid. Never heard it ever being regarded as a derogatory term. Most pagans I knew wore it as a badge of honour.
Being in the UK, I associate Celtic culture as being primarily Scottish, Irish or Welsh. Although the term "Celt" does date much further back than modern Celtic traditions.

F-Droid?

The Celts originally occupied the Iberian peninsula, Gaul, Germania, Ireland, and Britain. What we know of the Celts comes primarily from the Romans, since the Celts didn't have a written language. What little bits of writing remain from the Celts was near the early Roman Empire, and in vulgar Latin.
Of course, the Romans ultimately conquered a lot of those areas, into Britain up to about Hadrian's Wall. I believe they semi-conquered Cornwall and Wales, to the extent that they "ruled" those areas, but still left them generally to their own devices. Only Wales really retained its relative independence, as is evidenced by the fact that Welsh still exists, while Cornish is barely holding on after having become extinct and then revived.
The reason I compared "pagan" to "hillbilly" and "redneck" is because plenty of people wear those names with pride, too, even while many other people continue to use them in derogatory ways.

Droid bad, druid good

The word "Celt" is largely meaningless. There were no such specific societal group as "Celts".
"Celts" refers to speakers of similar (though not the same) languages within a celtic language group which includes Gauls (Who became Germans), Celtiberians, who became Portuguese, the Gaels, who became the English and Irish, etc... etc...
Saying that "Celts" are a society is like saying Peru, Argentina, Mexico, etc.. are all one single people. (pro tip...they're not)
So no, "celt" isn't derogatory, and it certainly isn't a synonym for "druid".

That one isnt official and its worse

Transport Evolved shares the info with Patreon supporters

Ideally the solution would be finding alternatives for creators to make money, sponsorships is one, they can make money on those no matter the platform and where they get viewers, same with support platforms like patreon and kofi.
The goal would be to watch videos there so creators have a reason to cross post and then support them in other ways, if possible, mentioning peertube as the avenue you watched them.
Cross posting to a peertube instance should be pretty light weight for creators and we should encourage it.

Those rumours about moonlit orgies can't all be wrong. They are the f-druids after all...

NewPipe has been there for a long while, with the ability to watch Peertube videos.
However, with its strict no account policy, you aren't able to leave comments, for example. So, nice to have!
