Also backing up your videos locally will not do anything for helping your fans get access to your content, you will still need to re-host it somewhere. Having it on peer-tube means if your account gets frozen/banned over some bullshit, you can just point your fans to your peer tube channel.
Peertube is the free software anyone can use to host video content in a decentralized and federated manner. It's akin to what the personal blogs were on the web a few years back
For the federated part, peertube is part of the fediverse through activitypub.
some real world example of peertube usage: KDE https://conf.tube/accounts/kde/video-channels PINE64: https://tilvids.com/a/pine64tilvids/video-channels Krita: https://share.tube/a/kritafoundation/video-channels Free Software Foundation: https://framatube.org/a/fsf/video-channels
Thought for a second there this was referring to YouTube and the videos its recommendation algorithms present. Heck the web is filled with this sort of garbage, just peruse the .com zone file. The majority of websites are junk. Yet we still "support" the web, a "platform" infested with the worst humanity has to offer.
Source: i've stopped youtube entirely years ago because every time i was watching some interesting content (including radical politics) it would always try to push nazi/illuminati content to me.
I have scripts that allow me to see which results in a YouTube search are increasing in views over time. The worst videos, with high view counts, that are the least responsive to the search terms (if even responsive at all) are being incessantly promoted by YouTube and we can see the the high view counts continue to increase day after day, for years.
