      While I agree, I think this is unlikely because unlike Reddit and StackOverflow modding, YouTube content creators rely on YouTube for their livelihoods.

        That should give them more incentive to want to move to the fediverse. I’m sure many youtubers can afford to host their own PeerTube instance.

          But then they’d have to coordinate directly with advertisers.

          The biggest can probably do that, but not 99.9% of content creators.

        And this is of course because youtube actually pays its creators. Youtube is a far more just platform and is nothing like the social media sites that rely on free labour.
