He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏
if you read further, he writes about peertube too
Yes, he says he's dependent on the ad revenue. However, no one is asking for him to drop YouTube. Also posting on PeerTube will simply have him reach more viewers. It won't move viewers away from YouTube.
People don't pay. They say they would but they don't. So we are stuck with YouTube and ads. I know people complaint about them but what is the alternative. People have to eat.
And yes I block ads I don't care but I understand why they are needed. And for some reason most don't block them.
