So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did... you know... and we're on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

Youtubers generally make more from sponsorships than adsense, at least from what I've gathered. The reason to still run adsense even though it might annoy your audience is that if you don't you get penalised by the algorithm.

Where I could easily see peertube taking off is with public broadcasters and generally media companies doing video that's free to view, as far as youtubers is concerned I wouldn't be surprised if e.g. nebula started to federate... they can still have a "paying customer vs. free content" type of separation while probably saving on bandwidth costs.
