YouTube has just reinstated the video, after what I presume is a human review process. I wish it didn’t take making noise on socials to get past the ‘AI deny’ process :(
Yes, he says he’s dependent on the ad revenue. However, no one is asking for him to drop YouTube. Also posting on PeerTube will simply have him reach more viewers. It won’t move viewers away from YouTube.
People don’t pay. They say they would but they don’t. So we are stuck with YouTube and ads. I know people complaint about them but what is the alternative. People have to eat.
And yes I block ads I don’t care but I understand why they are needed. And for some reason most don’t block them.
I will add, however, that Jeff’s main concern isn’t the policy itself, but that he and other youtubers can’t see it or know what the rules are. The lack of transparency is the real issue.

It says (updated) but what is the update?
He means self-hosting as in hosting his own PeerTube instance? Right??? 🙏
if you read further, he writes about peertube too

YouTube restored the video, but not until Jeff had made a huge stink about it (and rightfully so, those yt fuckers can eat a dick).
Yeah, and it was a one off restore, so others who are mentioning self hosting will still be taken down as long as that policy remains.
I agree.
