@gangrif@social.undrground.org Also, PeerTube is MUCH smaller than YouTube. You simply wont get the same numbers because of that.
But, you can get the same loyalty. If people like your content, they are more willing to donate on PeerTube because most viewers know that it's the only way to compensate a creator for their work. Now if they actually do or not, is another story.
I left YouTube because I was a brine shrimp in an ocean of whales. Now I'm clownish in an aquarium. Bigger fish. Smaller pond.

@Mrfunkedude@mastodon.social is the tip feature part of the platform? or is that something that's being done by linking other payment/tip platforms? Yea i get the audience size difference. And i do not expect even the best video to get viral numbers like on YT. the mechanism that promotes virality just isn't there. Thanks for the pointers! i do a lot of this already. the peertube tag is one i'll start adding though. not sure why i didn't think of that.
