YouTube (and their owners Google) are evil. Time to look for alternatives elsewhere.

For what it's worth I've done a guide to publishing on PeerTube at fedi.tips/how-to-publish-video…

PeerTube accounts' followers don't need to be on PeerTube.

People on Mastodon can follow and interact with PeerTube accounts, so if you set up a PT account you can encourage your Mastodon followers to follow it too (fedi.tips/how-do-i-use-peertub…).

People can also follow PeerTube accounts from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts (fedi.tips/how-to-subscribe-to-…).
