Comment on Ask HN: Why don't many video hosting companies adopt PeerTube or P2P?parent

Comments

If creators moved to PeerTube they probably could still make money with sponsored content and donations like they already do on YouTube.

Of course, because of network effects and YouTube ad revenue there is little incentive to do so except for idealists and people who get banned on YouTube.

If you can't track your users/views/etc, it's hard to sell sponsors on the idea that your video is worth sponsoring.
