The best alternatives for creators to obtain revenue are Bandcamp and Odysee, they have an fair business modell. Certainly when YT said selfhosting is harmfull, it's only for their business modell, but if creators create their own pages with their work, it's not really a solution, it will be interesting only for direct fans.
problem with odysee is that it's full of nazis so nobody wants to use it. like literally, one of the first videos that comes up is from the nordic resistance movement. and since it's based on the lbry blockchain illegal content can't be removed, only hidden from the frontend.
Yeah, I definitely don’t recommend clicking on the “wild west” category.
