    There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization

    It also lacks an audience at any sort of scale.

    I publish on both YouTube and peertube. 3-4000 views on youtube, 10-30 on peertube.

    Also published on odysee for a while, with similarly 2 digit views.

      I applaud your for posting on peertube. And yes, you are right, peertube is at early stages, it lacks discoverability, apps (that’d run on chromecast and TVs in general) and monetization as mentioned. But it’s also a chicken and egg situation. I really do hope it takes off for good.
