So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

That’s unlikely. Both Reddit and Twitter speak or at least spoke to people who enjoy a certain image of being anti establishment (in one way or another and whether that’s warranted or not). Youtube just doesn’t. You can’t get more mainstream than Youtube.
Yes and no. We had TV before YouTube. And yet people still wanted YouTube. Now, YouTube is going full circle and turning into TV. At the end of the day, people just want a place where they can share some cat videos, and random funny clips and memes without all the monetisation, adds, regulation, political correctness, and sanitization. It’s just too out of touch for a lot of people.
I’m not sure if the next tube platform will have p2p or federation, but I do know that business models that don’t make the user the client always end up dieing from enshitification. People just get fed up of not being catered to. It’s just a matter of when, not if.
