    Waaaay less money to be made there. Not saying he’s exclusively doing this for the money like the other reply, but we’re not talking about some solo guy making videos in his free time for fun. The man is running a business, needs money to make this videos happen, and to my knowledge this is his job.

      Can someone explain me why creators cant do both? Reupload a mirror on peertube.

      Its in their interest to have a solid backup when youtube inevitably dies.

        this is speculation, but it’s possible that youtube don’t like it when large mainstream creators have backup platforms and will start cracking down.

        That’s definitely an option. It would be a good idea for him to do that, I think. But my main point is that losing YouTube would be devastating for GN regardless of whether or not they’re on peertube, and moving entirely to peertube isn’t really feasible for them
