--- Quote from: Halcyon on April 23, 2022, 10:53:49 pm ---LBRY/Odysee is really the only viable alternative. Thankfully, some of my favourite content creators have or are slowly making the transition over. I understand that it's difficult when monetisation from Youtube is their primary source of income, but to me that suggests poor planning (if the channel is being run as a business).

It's not poor planning, it's literally less than 5 minutes work and all your content is synced. You never have to look at or touch it again. Same with Utreon, Bitchute, and Rumble. Once creators are aware of this it's a decision most likely based on an ideological viewpoint of some kind.

I meant from the point of view that if your business model relies on Youtube revenue to survive, then you're doing it wrong (with the exception of the top 0.01% of creators that actually make significant money over time, which is still going to be short-lived, because, that's life).

But to make the necessary AI automation work people have to realize that content shouldn't be created in form encoded for human interaction, it should all be created for machine processing and semantic analysis and semantic search.

Yup, precisely. Internet v3.0 will get it.

Two years ago I planned to open my YouTube channel. Nothing too serious, I would just like to share some of the crazy Linux projects, probably a niche among niches, so "sponsors" will probably never be a problem because the channel will never get more than a hundred views at best.

For many reasons I haven't started the channel yet, but I'm still thinking about it.

What would you suggest at this point? Youtube as a first start, something else and Youtube as a second option? 

Mumble :-//

For a new channel, consider gearing the material for Odysee and mirroring a percentage of it to youtube until they inevitably find something to ping you about, then lower the percentage. As our friend Naomi has finally discovered, after plenty of warning, one by one the channels not pulling in the million views per vid are being yeeted. I hope we see your new channel soon.  :)

To reiterate/reinforce what Dave said,

Locals is a Patreon alternative, not a Youtube-like video platform.
The best alternative Youtube platforms are IMO, ranked:
1) Odysee
2) Utreon
3) Rumble
4) Bitchute a distant last

Both Odysee and Utreon have Patreon like features as well as superchats for live shows.

There are others like Vimeo and Daily Motion but the traction is practically zero.

Youtube without a doubt. It's where all the discoverability still is.
All the other platforms "come for free" so to speak if you are a Youtuber. Upload to Youtube and your content automatically gets mirrored on the other sites if you set that.
