A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

It sounds like YouTube is heading towards conflict with it's long-term content providers as well. Their new algorithm heavily favors "shorts". This really screws over the traditional medium to long format creators who arguably made YouTube successful. Sounds like they want to move quickly into the TikTok space but it's sad for a lot of creators who are losing significant income d/t this change.

I wouldn't for the reasons mentioned by others.

There's no monetization; I would have to find, attract, and deal with sponsors on my own.

There's not really much in the way of audience which makes the above harder since I would need numbers/

There's also the whole thing about bandwidth.

Then there's all the sysadmin stuff to do, security updates, etc.

Then there's still the legal and other admin roles, presumably, about DMCA, etc.

I do not have the time for any of that right now.
