@duncesplayed imho making PeerTube or other Fediverse video service very good at UX and easy to use will allow these communities migrate when they feel like it.
I think biggest issue might be running video service like this and having running costs for video storage, etc. As always, communities might be willing to factor those costs in their pledges.
I think PeerTube needs easy to use setup / reliable network of hosters, and good UX to manage community, live streams, chats, etc.

@duncesplayed @kalleboo tbh most of YTs I know either run sponsor ads, or have Patreon/paid for community. It is already slowly moving away from ads system in YT, which simply does not work.

@hampter @noodlejetski @Nankeru *cough* TikTok *cough*
In all seriousness, Google does not know what to do with YT. It is very hard to monetize. They tried to do whole TV thing, which fell flat on it’s face. it keeps being huge money sink, and moderation is nightmare and algorithms seems to fucking up constantly.
They can’t get rid of it, because it is huge, but it is not fire sure profit.

@tango_octogono @alyaza YouTube basically spams ads and begs to sign up for Premium.

@Winterismyseason @Powderhorn in lot of cases disclaimers are not legally binding and cannot absolute ChatGPT from legal troubles. Heck, even majority of EULAs are legal fluff.

@cavemeat @spoonful more like kremlin troll.

@LoreleiSankTheShip @Cube6392 it is thought to be true, but it is not.

@AnagrammadiCodeina @alyaza what is normal? Bird site lost people even before Musk.

@setsneedtofeed @Kichae so much this. I nutshell, it is important to attract as many people as possible that find Fediverse as idea attractive in first place. There is no point of having millions who do not care about platform.

@DJDarren @Lobstronomosity Oculus has proven that hardware is one thing, but apps is another. And developing and prototyping VR apps is hard, long and expensive. Market is too small for many devs to get super interested in.

@dirtmayor really depends are you up to make good with locals. Just not everyone has that kind of human skill - and that is fine.

@mint @dirtmayor if you don’t want to know or understand locals why you even bother to be digital nomad. You can work remotely from home in USA or UK.

@0x815 comfort of group think. For most people, ease of use is what draws them to social networking. Federation is something they don’t grasp that easily, and they don’t understand danger of concentrating power on one platform.
I still think it is great Fediverse is here and evolves. It won’t attract huge numbers of users, but it might not need to to keep going.

@0x815 @hedge but people fall for it themselves. I mean, they know all facts there.
