Not for watching, for posting content (so Nebula is out with their super secret handshake entry standard).

I don’t want to play to a bullshit Algorithm or make horrible thumbnails.

Vimeo is on the way out, so Peertube is probably your best bet but it's nowhere near what anyone who relies on an audience would consider adequate.

Peertube. You are already on the fediverse. So you know how it is. Its very much in the beginning phases still. And nitch. Although theres a ton of good videos out there. Just search by top and subscribe to who you like.

PeerTube or Odysee.

What’s the secret handshake entry

If you’re making content for fun and not trying to make money off it then PeerTube would be the way to go. You can help build the catalog. If you want to make money then unfortunately YouTube is kinda the only way.

There's Dailymotion, though it's not open source or federated.

I've been thinking too, that if I generate content I should post to both services, but mention the better one. Like "if you want no ads, I'm on peertube as well". Naturally drive people there.

Unfortunately, we are not allowed to tell you...

Aagh you almost made my brain forget how to spell "niche." Please don't do that to my brain.

Is this the club that George Carlin was telling us about?

What's happening with Vimeo? I haven't used it in an age.

what's wrong with nebula?

If you make vaguely leftist content, there is means.tv

Have a popular, wildly successful YouTube channel with slickly-edited videos. The second-lwbel handshake is to be personal friends or professional collaborators with somebody already in Nebula.

but it’s nowhere near what anyone who relies on an audience would consider adequate.

Well, we’ve got to start somewhere. If we more people post there then more of an audience will come

OP wants to post videos, not watch them. Nebula is invite only and generally only invites those with a decent body of work.

Nebula is a Zionist platform. Which is why Second Thought switched to means.tv

Well that explains why there is such a low amount of content

Thats how you know im not AI. Also I cant spell. woops.

Oh I fully agree, but for someone who needs to make money, it makes more sense to post to multiple places including PeerTube instead of just PeerTube.

They got bought and a majority of the staff was laid off.

That’s fair enough. It would be nice if on all the other mediums the filmmaker could say “hey the best way to watch me is on Peertube.” But unfortunately it looks like the only way to monetize on Peertube would be through crowd contribution platforms, such as Patreon, which might cause issues for some people who want to put their videos up there. The upside to this tho is that there’s no ads and no paywalls, so I think its a tradeoff is worth making

Floatplane is what a lot of my medium sized subscriptions are switching over to as their income source. Upload to YouTube but offer early videos or extra content to floatplane subscribers.

YouTube will pull the rug out from under you over and over again when it comes to monetization.

Do you have any context on nebula being zionist? I'm not questioning your statement, I'm just curious and lazy.

Ah sorry, didn't play the video. Like I said, I'm lazy.

edit: To be clear, I've watched it

It's JT saying that Nebula wanted both-sides Zionism for his videos on Gaza.

A tale as old as time
