#2Some examples of what the OP means by "lost sovereignty" would be useful. I assume he means ability to monetize how he wants, or to avoid algorithmic claims against his work etc....but who knows - the author does not explain.

He posted a video[1] about why he left. It sounds like YouTube updated terms of service that required him to allow YouTube to put ads in his videos and he never wanted to monetize his work, he’s making the videos to share information, not to make money for him or anyone else.

In general, when we use someone's platform to publish, we give up control. People continually rediscover this fact. If you want more control, publish on a standard website on a standard Linux machine.

He had no intention to ever monetise the channel, but with YouTube's ToS update he had to agree that YouTube can monetise his channel even if he doesn't want it to.
Considering he's basically forced to serve ads he has no control over and he does not earn a cent from it, I'd say "lost sovereignty" holds true.

#6It's pretty hard to imagine what people think they gain by "switching" to PeerTube. Beyond idealism, there's not a whole lot going for the platform technically; it isn't peer to peer meaningfully. It would be better to just claim you are paying to self host your videos, which is what the author is doing.

#7I wonder at what point we as internet users will decide that we're willing to pay for services in order to maintain more control?
In the meantime I sympathize with folks who in a way have ground rules changed on them, but then again were using a free service where they were the product...
The internet is a weird place where we demand everything be free as just a baseline rule, and then complain when the product that we didn't pay for changes, or in some other cases just tries to turn a profit / be sustainable.

#8What are the per-viewer costs these days to host video files on a plain web server? Perhaps with a CDN?

Evil company decides not to take a loss on hosting probably zettabytes of video?
It's really hard to paint youtube as the villain here and keep a straight face.

HTTP 402 being left unimplemented only seemed natural to me just a decade ago; today looks an incredibly stupid decision. How things change……
