YouTube’s system for suppressing low-quality AI content mistakenly targeted Kurzgesagt, leaving the channel with its worst-performing upload since 2013.

    PeerTube doesn’t provide a revenue stream based on views. KZ and basically anyone that outputs “professional” animations has to have revenue if they are to pay their workers. Other revenue streams (e.g. Merch) can be distractions from the main task of producing video.

    Nebula content is only available to subscribers, so the reach is tiny. Creators are free to mirror the content to non-Nebula sites, including YT, so I guess it could be an option.

    Dropout is also subscriber only, and they are more jealous about making sure content appears there exclusively, at least for a bit. “One Backflip” and “Pissing Out Cancer” both were Dropout-only for at least a month before the performers could put the specials on other platforms.

    Yes, it is possible. But, it’s really hard to get off YT after building an audience there, and YT seems to have a much lower barrier to entry than other platforms, even PeerTube.
