If you currently publish on YouTube, please consider putting your videos on PeerTube instead or as well:

Your audience doesn't have to be on PeerTube themselves. They can follow and interact with PeerTube from within Mastodon etc, and they can even follow PeerTube from podcasting apps such as Apple Podcasts.

p.s. Let me know if you're on PeerTube, I give shoutouts to PeerTubers via @FediFollows and @FediVideo to help get them noticed.
PeerTube is not just about Linux and FOSS any more, you can have a look at https://fedi.video to see all sorts of accounts that have uploaded.
If you're not a video creator but you follow someone on YouTube, you might want to politely suggest to them that they mirror their channel on PeerTube so that people can watch without having to use YouTube.
@FediVideo I think most of the channels I watch on YT aren't going to migrate to PT, because it's nearly impossible to monetize.
But... I think I may need to leave YT anyway.
Even the ones that I also Patreonize...
@BoydStephenSmithJr @FediVideo it can't hurt to ask them about it! a lot of channels I watch get most/all of their revenue from Patreon regardless, so it in theory would not be a problem for them
@GroupNebula563 @BoydStephenSmithJr
A lot of YouTube channels no longer make much in direct monetisation, they often make more from Patreon and sponsorships.
Patreon and sponsorships are platform-neutral, so they can be done on any video platform including PeerTube (for example @thelinuxexperiment mentions sponsors at the start, @michellemay mentions Patreons at the end).
@FediVideo @GroupNebula563 @BoydStephenSmithJr directly yes, indirectly no though. A sponsor wants to see numbers, and i bet you Squarespace is not happy with the numbers peertube makes for 90% of the people they currently have under contract (Squarespace seems to sponsor every video i watch haha, lots of art stuff)
Don't get me wrong, I've been looking into peertube recently because I want to get rid of yt. But the monetisation via sponsors is nowhere near what you can make on yt.
@Blahmage @GroupNebula563 @BoydStephenSmithJr
Oh yeah of course, I just mean there is not a technical barrier 
If someone's PeerTube started getting large numbers of views, they would be able to get a sponsor the same way they do on YouTube or any other video platform. And you can have sponsors on multiple platforms, in fact it's probably easier so you can upload the same file everywhere.
Also, patrons are available at any scale, I have patrons for my Fediverse accounts.
