A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

The very successful and famous couple probably take their sponsors and fanbase along to PeerTube. In the future, those with sponsors might be able to go there, if content on PeerTube becomes mainstream somehow.
For the more average channels it's probably more complicated. And then again, subscription models might be preferable for many viewers over sponsored content.
It will be interesting to see what takes over if YouTube allows itself to get bad enough that content creators start fleeing on a big scale. I'm not sure it'll happen though - Google might be increasingly evil, but they don't seem to be particularly erratic.
