    I’m adamant the only viable YouTube replacement is a subscription service.

      Nebula is an alternative with a lot of content creators I subscribe to. It started off very lanky, but is getting better. I’m just hoping they can attach more talent to switch from Youtube.

      The very successful and famous couple probably take their sponsors and fanbase along to PeerTube. In the future, those with sponsors might be able to go there, if content on PeerTube becomes mainstream somehow.

      For the more average channels it’s probably more complicated. And then again, subscription models might be preferable for many viewers over sponsored content.

      It will be interesting to see what takes over if YouTube allows itself to get bad enough that content creators start fleeing on a big scale. I’m not sure it’ll happen though - Google might be increasingly evil, but they don’t seem to be particularly erratic.
