I don't know about other filmmakers or content creators, but I have never seen a dime from YouTube. Even when I pushed out regular content filming live events, even when I had huge numbers of followers and views, the only thing I ever got from YouTube was a bunch of nasty comments.

But unless they use ad-block, every person watching my videos sees ads they don't want for things they don't want. Google is making bank off my work, and I just want people to see it.

If you're like me, consider switching to a reputable #PeerTube instance that federates like @BTFree or @MakerTube

Some technical updates regarding #MakerTube. I started building up a storage cluster to gain some operational experience with it. We will soon hit some plan limit on Hetzner for the backup (20TB) and the decision was either to use the managed object store (expensive) or do it on my own (more work). I will only use it for backups and block storage for now and see how it turns out. But in the long run I guess there is no way around it to keep costs in check. Let's see! #peertube #ceph

#FeaturedServer #PeerTube

anyone know why the #PeerTube instance https://phijkchu.com is listed as having 146,974 users? I think this must be someone tweaking their numbers right?

With #PeerTube, as an admin, you can use remote runners to externalize the transcoding of your videos!

This allows you to share the cost of transcoding across multiple platforms! 🤝
