YouTube restored the video, but not until Jeff had made a huge stink about it (and rightfully so, those yt fuckers can eat a dick).
Yeah, and it was a one off restore, so others who are mentioning self hosting will still be taken down as long as that policy remains.
I hate youtube so much. When are they moving all to ~~freetube~~ peertube or something? How long do we all accept Google youtube?
Unless I'm missing something Freetube is a client. So it wouldn't be Jeff moving to freetube it would be you using freetube to watch his content on YT.
I'm guessing you meant peertube instead of freetube and your answer there is "When they can get paid." Making content takes time and costs money and YT pays creators like Jeff for doing it.
I dislike YT alot but there's financial decisions at play here that can't really be argued with.
It's not one or the other though. Peertube with patreon can exist alongside YouTube
Patreon is just one source of income. Ad revenue is another. Its good to have more than one source if you wanna make a living with it.
That was my very point :)
I guess I missed your point lol. Is it possible to paywall a peertube video behind Patreon?
It's possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.
Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access
I guess that kinda works.
It's how Youtube does it...
Wait, does it? I thought they have better integration with Patreon to determine if you have access to the video. I guess I never checked if I can still open YouTube videos of channels I'm no longer subscribed to on Patreon.
I don't know, maybe they have a specific agreement with Patreon or something. But in general, that's how Patreon like services work with YouTube
