It's true that the monetisation of everything is pretty awful, but it's one of the most important reasons to join a platform for content creators whether we like it or not.

The main reason to join a platform for a creator is the amount of the potential viewers, which of course don't increase much without new content creators. Therefore Peertube needs a secondary reason for creators to join, which it doesn't seem to have.

If anything, joining Peertube will in theory decrease their income, which actually gives them a reason to not join :(

at this point in my life, i just can't care about catering once again to capitalism. i'm basically out of that game and encourages others to do the same.

youtube worked because it was fun to make videos for each other as a community. that's what peertube brings back and i prefer it that way rather than the attention-addicted sickness it has become.
