Might it be worth crossposting those?

3 things

• if you're a fan, watching on YouTube supports them. An unofficial peertube doesn't.
• if you're not a fan, why would you watch even if it was on peertube.
• they also run floatplane.

Even generally liked creators that have their own peertube. Like Veronica explains. I would be a bit more tempted to watch on YouTube unless I was supporting via patreon. I suppose the one middle ground on that would be regarding advertisements. I did try to watch some videos signed out on a system that was stock....... holy hell that did suck.

Why does everything have to be binary with you people? I watch them once in a while and don't want to use a proprietary platform. Even if I watched their youtube channel, it'd be through a privacy frontend so they wouldn't get the views anyway.

If they saw that an unofficially copied channel garnered a lot of views, they might be tempted to make an official presence. If all we do is go "they'll never come here, I'll watch them on youtube", well, you know what'll happen.

That's at least trinary right there. 4 if you count the paragraph afterward. But my apologies for trying to start discussion and get some engagement in what's generally a pretty dead community. I didn't realize you had an axe to grind. I will keep that in mind in the future.

Floatplane is out of Canada run by LTT and Peertube is French. Two completely different companies, I thought.

They are different, but peertube is opensource and part of the fediverse. Hence the ability to crosspost from LTT and even to comment on peertube videos from places like mbin or mastodon.

No. You are correct. The reason I brought that up. Was it because of that LTT will likely never have an official peer tube of their own. There 100% are peer tube Channels with their videos on them. But all of them unofficial to my understanding? So this in particular is an interesting intersectionality.

I think it would actually be interesting to see someone like Luke, take a look at peer tube. And give his thoughts as someone that runs their own video platform.

Yes just dont watch him at all

I certainly don't watch them like I used to a decade ago. I do still catch a couple videos now and again when the topic is especially interesting. Like some of the recent Linux stuff.

It's a shame Linus waited so long to hand off leadership. He clearly wasn't capable. And now unfortunately it's really kind of tainted the brand overall. Which is a shame. Stuff like their labs and true spec gear, look pretty decent. I think we've all encountered USB cables that look like they might snap if you look at them wrong. Their true spec cables look pretty decent. Like some of the ugreen cables I've gotten. Those things could just about support my weight and let me swing from them if I needed to.
