After been fed up by YouTube (as they have decided to shadow-ban my account because I have made a video about yt-dlp, obviously), and been frustrated about the lack of simplicity and usability of Peertube (don't try to convince me, I have tried, really), I have decided to give hyper8 a chance and until now I really love it. It is self-hosted, you can manage the complete setup on your own computer and it generates static sites and RSS-Feeds. https://simonrepp.com/hyper8/

I'm not saying being an #influencer is inherently worthless vs being a #creator, just that these are two VERY different occupations, and they deserve their own distinct terminology.

Next up: "reaction channel" vs "commentary."

I've decided that from now on, this is how - I - define #creator vs #influencer :
Creator: someone who creates content (video, audio, image, art, writing, etc) that they have done at least 90% of the work towards creating
Influencer: someone whose primary job is to be in front of the camera, while other people do all the rest of the work (scripting, editing, costuming, promoting, etc etc etc)

Just two more days to vote for our SXSW panels, and then we'll stop going on about them until next March 🤞.

Cast your votes to see @mike talking to Rudy Fraser of Blacksky about community building, and Patreon's Jack Conte about creator independence.
