If you're really serious about making a difference, you should start considering leaving YouTube, It's not enough to say this platform is trash to your viewers, most of them feel the trashy nature of it already (phone number requirement, centralized source of Information, ridiculous "community guidelines" and terms, #censorship, algorithms, advertisements.. and now Age verification by a Government ID and/or Face scan)
This doesn't mean ruining your content creator career in the process, if you're uploading to a different platform, chances are you already know the problem with YouTube, but just know that uploading to a different platform isn't the solution on it's own, just like using private front-ends isn't the ultimate solution, it's just a temporary fix.
while uploading to a second platform is great and it's much appreciated but unfortunately that alone doesn't incentivize (motivate) your followers to make the switch, you should take it a step further.
as long as you're treating the alternative as a backup solution instead of it being your future home, where your content and your community will live, then we don't have a chance against this tech giant, make the switch inside your mind first before asking your community to make it.
You work so hard to make that video, to the point where you'll start calling it a 'video project', and I agree.. it is a **project**.. it's a lot of work..
It's understandable why YouTube is the first platform you upload to, because you want people to see your work, what's the point of uploading that video (that you worked so hard to make) to an empty platform, a ghost city.. where no one will see it.. You go to YouTube for exposure, so use it for that.. just that.
**you don't have to upload everything to YouTube**, you're not there for engagement, you're there for people to see that you exist, if they want to see more of you, they should come to your primary platform, what you consider your future home to be, that home should be of course everything that YouTube isn't (No #Ads, No #tracking, No #ageverification , No #kyc, No #Ai, No #shadowbannig, No #algorithms, No vague rules and legalese), use #YouTube for exposure and your main platform for the content, a platform where you're not competing against ads that try to take your viewers attention.
Do you want to take it a step further?
Upload short clips, teasers (shall we say) to YouTube, make a call to action in the end, "If you want to see the full version, the link is in the description"
YouTube has reached it's final stage, It can no longer offer anything useful to #humanity , now it's sole purpose is to be used as bridge for the next generation of video hosting platforms, ones that offer innovative ways to share and preserve humanity's knowledge, it's a huge gamble to trust a #monopoly with that knowledge, they can restrict access to it, they can erase it, they can use it (and not in a good way e.g. training Ai), the moment you hit upload, It's not your content anymore, it's not your 'video project' anymore, it's a YouTube video.
I have seen content creators (who should know better) fall for the trap of convenience that YouTube set up for them, either by embracing the "pay or okey" model just so they don't see ads, and others going full normie and enabling memberships, leading their followers further into the surveillance ad machine, you should lead by example, content creators don't follow the crowds, the crowds follow content creators and leaving a platform is the most effective way to destroy it, you don't fight the system by staying in the system.

So I've discovered over the last few days that my #Fedibruary plan has a problem: In many ways I don't actually know what I want to end up with.
The #chat element was easy: I wanted to spent more hours boring lots of people so #mastodon was the obvious choice.
My plan for week two was #Pixelfed or #Peertube but after spending the last couple of days looking at them I'm no longer sure they're what I want.
Why? Because I've realised what I really want is something more like a private media library/player where I can sometimes link the content to other people. Pixelfed is definitely a platform focused on posting, not being a media library.
I've also considered #MediaGoblin as a result of that discovery but it doesn't feel complete enough (sorry guys), from looking at their site and the known public instances.
I've been considering making week two my week to migrate away from #Google photos by setting up #Piwigo . This also doesn't appeal to me as a #Fedibruary activity since piwigo doesn't have #activitypub support.
What to do? I'm unsure. I may install Pixelfed or peertube just to experience the process, I may bring #funkwhale forward in my plans and do it this week, I might try an #XMPP / #Jabber server install but I just don't know 🤯
What I do know is that I've spent two of my five days trying to decide what to do.
In a couple of days January will end and that means we're about to be in... #Fedibruary !
This year I'll be testing out a different #fedi project, or taking extra steps to #decentralise, each week.
At this stage my Fedibruary plan is:
Week one:
- Announce my migration intent to #LinkedIn
- Where I have a contact on LinkedIn and #Mastodon I will remove the connection on LinkedIn
Week two:
- Spin up a #Pixelfed instance to play with
Week three:
- Sign up for, or deploy, an #XMPP / #Jabber service (many many years since I had working XMPP!)
Week four:
- Undecided but I'm mainly considering #Peertube or #MediaGoblin (it'll depend on how week two goes)
- If Pixelfed goes really well and I don't feel like a video focused platform would be useful to me I'll dip in to my other considerations below
My 'overflow' / alternative week four is a #fediverse #chat deployment of some sort... I couldn't decide which one to install though!
Week four I also considered the #defederated #riff.cc (but I don't think its easy enough for me to install that yet).
I'm thinking of either rolling my own alternative as a static site, or use either #peertube or #mediagoblin
I'm really getting tired of this artificial market hijacking youtube channels to push out of the algorithm smaller creators.
The algorithm might make it easier, but it doesn't have to be a reality, if YT would just do something about DMCA false flagging and stuff.
