What if you downloaded your own videos to post to Odysee or PeerTube now in an attempt to at least have them on a non-Google platform? Will that be a DMCA violation even if you're the one who made those videos in the first place?

Similarly, could something like this also put the existence of alternative video platforms like the aforementioned Odysee and PeerTube at risk too?

Also, could this have implications for fan works now too?

No, because they're your videos and you can use them however you want.
