According to the new rules, on-stream logos are to be shrunk to 3% of the screen size, and burned-in video, display and audio ads are no longer allowed. What is allowed on branded streams are channel page panel ads, product placement, links in chat, discussing/unboxing products, and playing sponsored games.

That's what I'm afraid of. Is kick.com a realistic alternative? Streamers should not migrate to YouTube, they have enough monopoly already.

I still wonder whether PornHub could join the regular video sharing or streaming business to provide a real alternative... They probably have the infrastructure and know-how.

Peertube might be an option; it's basically an ActivityPub server that's intended for video and stream hosting, by my understanding.
