      I know it seems kinda ironic. But the way to reach lots of people is to post on YouTube. If you want to reach people and stop them from using google you’re not going to reach them on some obscure platform that no one uses.

      And the people using those obscure platforms have already degoogled so your basically preaching to the choir if you use them.

        Wasnt yt adds laughably underpaid and thats the reason all the videos have sponsors nowdays? With that in mind, he is big enough to switch and keep his sponsors/clicks

          Nope, nobody is. Case in point: Twitch.

          Multiple people have tried moving out, but they always come back.

          YouTube ads pay a fuckton of money compared to any sponsorships. And sponsors pay more based on views and demographics, which YouTube also provides.

          You just can’t make YouTube moneys by hosting an mp4 with sponsor ads, not ever.

            I think it’s not about money. It’s the audience.

            Maybe this arc leads somewhere better though. He might be big enough to cause a paradigm shift eventually.

              LTT isn’t small (Linus is tho) and they have their own site, Floatplane

              They still make most of their income from YouTube

            Only if you operate in a country where AdSense pays a lot. If you’re based in a country where AdSense pays like shit, you’re going to need that sponsor to keep the lights on.

            The only way is to quit Youtube entirely, but It wont matter as Google already has a ton of info on him but I’m sure he has enough money to live without Youtube.
