LTT storage is excessive. He stores all his footage in full quality instead of just storing his final edited videos in a compressed format. Plus if you’re a youtuber with millions of subscribers you can afford to pay for a few TB of storage to hold and serve your videos. Its not that expensive.
there is revenue stream. liberapay is integrated, get your viewers to subscribe through there. they can donate any amount, literally.
then its also common that content creators cooperate with companies, mostly tech companies, to advertise their products. that can still be done on peertube. what they can’t anymore is to show generic ads for everyone every few minutes.
Except for these people, it almost definitely is. They have staff, an office, inventory to manage, etc. Most YouTubers nowadays aren’t just operating on their own, and thus have financial expenses outside of just paying themselves for their own labor, that can’t just keep going if their revenue stream goes down, or even just takes a large enough cut.
It’s unfortunate, but that’s just how a lot of the content creation industry works right now, especially on YouTube.
What do you want people to buy food with. Welfare checks lol? Where would they get money to buy stuff for testing. They have an acoustic chamber that’s fairly expensive.
Revenue and professional channels are intimately linked and removing the revenue stream would open them up to bought reviews like heiLTT.
We live in a society… What makes you think he’d even have a channel if he didn’t need money?
Most of anything exist because people need money for food. Companies, technology, stuff. If people didn’t need money the channel most likely wouldn’t exist since stuff largely wouldn’t exist.
That isn’t true though, plenty of people engage in creative endevours just for the pleasure of it.
Maybe this channel wouldn’t but as soon as it started relying on other people and platforms there was always the risk those wouldn’t align with the creative message and something would have to give.
Issue is such channels need giant amounts of storage for this.
Linus tech Tips showed his multiple upgrades over the years it’s quite crazy what they need on storage space.

Not after you lose your channel and all your income. PeerTube doesn’t appeal to people who make a living at this because there’s no revenue stream.

Sometimes it ain’t about the revenue stream.

Either way the creative control is compromised, just in different ways.

GN is literally a sizable business, it absolutely is.
Not just storage, but bandwidth. Streaming one video to potentially thousands of people at once can get very expensive.
Storage? Traffic is the real cost
