The point of what? The point of PeerTube is to leverage the p2p nature of torrents to allow people to host video-sharing platforms for a fraction of the cost. If you want to monetize your instance then why not?

Ok I thought the idea was to avoid Google's espionage. Once you start monetizing you will get all that right back.

What's the point of self hosting if you still need Google?

Why Google? I explicitely said you could embed any ad provider ( or even use your own personal method for distributing ads).

Maybe you don't like that, but that's what software freedom looks like
