Why have YouTubers ceased reuploading videos to alternative platforms around December 2023? (lemy.lol)

I prefer not to support Google, so I’ve been using alternative platforms. However, I’ve noticed that the YouTubers I follow have stopped reuploading their videos to these platforms. Has anyone else observed this? What could be the reason behind this change?

One reason could be difference in how much the other platforms pay vs YouTube. Uploading multiple places also requires more effort and coordination, might not be worth it from their perspective...

I know that Peertube doesn't have any built-in monetization right now, so they would probably be relying on viewer charity to make money on some platforms.

Some do but it's an agreement with their uploaders and the instance owners.

Interesting. I know that most Fediverse stuff doesn't allow ads on the platform, so do the creators just get a cut of any money donated to the instance?

Yep!
