Is it possible for creators to earn money on PeerTube? If not, maybe that’s what’s holding a lot of them back. And of course the fact that most people don’t know what PeerTube is.
It should be easily accessible for everyone and have some kind of system to give the creators money. And make the switch from YouTube easy.
Making money on merch/patreon can only happen once your channel is established though. Until then, YouTube creators are dependent on ad revenue to keep them going, and probably operate at a loss until they reach the point where they can supplement that ad revenue. Trying to get yourself established on a platform that doesn’t offer any ad revenue is a much harder sell.

Most creators on YouTube make their main money from patreon/merch anyway. No reason you can’t do that on peertube.

As much as I like federation, stuff like nebula seems like a better solution.
The issue is that nebula doesn’t offer the community aspect that YouTube offers
Start randomly insulting eachother and gaslight one another in comment sections. You’ll build up the hate in no time at all.
It’s not about the comments, it’s more about the creators creating the youtubesphere
Yeah I have a subscription there. I recommend it.
