I honestly think that article 11 and 13 will grow more decentralized options. Peertube is only federated, so it won't benefit as much as it could, but it will still help. If the platform is responsible for copyright, then it will definitely be easier to just burn that server and then spin up a new one. Just my 2 cents

“only” federated?

Small platforms (ie business under 50 empl, or 10mil € ATO) don't have to adhere the copyright filter at all and are under the previous Notice&Takedown protection.

PeerTube is very exciting and I've been thinking about running an instance. Only showstopper for me atm is lack of live streaming support, which admittedly is difficult to figure out.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sponsorships are only one form of monetization. The competitive feature for content creators here is ad revenue sharing. The only thing I got from reading this write up is that it will be pretty easy for someone to create their own instance and throw ads on someone else's content.

It seems like for many creators on youtube the ad revenue sharing is no longer a notable source of their income.

For the top 1% of the top 1% maybe. Keep in mind that this is long tail distribution and many creators rely on ad revenue.

That long tail is what drives growth for these platforms anyways.

Or the lack of anyway to monetize your content other than link to a method for accepting donations.

The amount of money you make off youtube ads has fallen off a cliff, almost all big content makers rely on patreon these days. Even for millions of views on a video its typically less than $100

Is there a source for this? It wouldn't surprise me but I'd like to read more about it.
