Youtube of ~15 years ago was mostly just Joe Randoms making videos to amuse themselves or others, not trying to make a career out of it. The videos were less polished but also less soulless. This sort of content could thrive on peertube, they don't have to win over the "influence career" people.

This sort of content could thrive on peertube, they don't have to win over the "influence career" people.

But this isn't 15 years ago. There wasn't a huge player in this space when Youtube was getting started, but now there is. And now people know it's theoretically possible to make decent money creating content.
