5 months agoI might be mistaken but, I think cellular carriers force 480p. I always use a VPN and PipePipe, LibreTube, or Clipious so, I don’t know for sure. Lol And, I do look for PeerTube content sometimes.
Yeah, I don’t think any of the “creator” advert things you mentioned have much to do with the big G. I’d guess that 70% of that goes to the channel. Hopefully that much or even more.
Either way, as someone who makes music and goes to local shows, I generally avoid YT and other big platforms. I encourage other bands to upload to PT and FunkWhale. They may as well upload torrents with how much artists get paid from streaming, and use whatever third party tipping platforms.
I’d probably straight up fail because I’d write something about how I, myself, am a recording and gigging musician; have multiple albums out, releaased under a CC BY-NC-SA license, we have given copies out gratís and told people to just make copies for others; and how we are all pro piracy.
The funny thing is that there is no money in the music industry for most bands. Especially underground stuff like NYHC.
The reality is that the only ones that potentially don’t make as much money are the upper echelon who are already making millions. Even that out so the touring bands get their dues, and we can talk about how every dollar helps them go from struggling to actually living off their craft without having to work full time. 🌵
