A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

All his stuff is on youtube. Why doesn't he upload to peertube? :/ It seems like he doesn't like youtube a lot but his content only exists there.

Because that's where the audience is. Peertube is deader than the lemmyverse. You are essentially making the silly "but yet you choose to live in society" argument.
Then publish on both!
Yeah right, we all know you have a single copy of digital items and you can either put it here or there, but not both. That's why NFTs were such a success! /s
That seems like a good idea.
Not to be cynical, but how can you monetize peertube as a creator. Even if you are established enough to do in video sponsorships, your sponsors aren't going to really accept views from peertube when they evaluate how much your worth. So it either does nothing or it sinks your career.
Sponsors will pay if you are big enough, no matter the platform. If PeerTube went big, you'd probably start seeing sponsors.
I mean we're sitting here on the lemmyverse having a conversation..
But yeah creators should upload to peertube but they won't get any meaningful viewership there. The only way to break the network affect stranglehold google/youtube has over video content on the internet is making sure that if you do produce that content it's available via other channels.
A service that uploads to all sites you select. All in one place. Pivot to hosting trackers and have users host their content torrent style
I don't think so. OP wasn't saying to stop uploading to YouTube, but to upload to alternate sites as well and maybe lead their audiences there by mentioning it in videos.
Monetization is one of the main problem of PeerTube, it's more expensive to make videos than to write threads, and while on YouTube/Odysee/Rumble content creators earn money, on peertube they often need to pay to instance operators to pay for hosting
User experience for peertube is not the best too, while in the most of the Fediverse for instance to connect with other instances a user just needs to follow someone on it, on peertube instance owner needs to add instances to the list to federate their content
🙄 yeah, great talking with you

Just FYI the license in your comment doesn’t actually exist and the creative commons license it links to does not mention AI anywhere.
I've tried multiple things to try and help people understand why I paste that there. This is the closest I got with the least amount of comments about it.

Does it apply if you don't say that you are posting under the license? It may be implied, the intent is reasonably clear, but an argument of ambiguity can be made. You're merely linking to a license.
Does it apply if the link label mismatches the license? CC by-nc-sa does more than deny commercial AI training. It requires attribution, requires general non-commercial use, and requires share-alike.
Personally, I prefer when it's at least differently formatted to indicate it as a footer and not comment content. I've seen them smaller and IIRC italic on other commenters, which seems more appropriate and less distracting and noisy [for human consumption]. When the comment is no longer than the license footer… well…
Given how many comments I receive in the vein of "are you seriously licensing your comment?", I think the intent is quite clear. But since people keep asking why, I might add a blurb (since I don't have a page I can link to) to explain that.
You are free to improve on the format if you like. Maybe I'll see a comment of yours with a format I agree with and copy that formatting.

Well i understand its to combat ai from training on your comments right, maybe also to poison the data?
I just don't see what taking a non relevant licensee and giving it a different name is doing to stop that. Trivial to filter stuff like this out in a dataset.
At best an individual data scraping company decides to honor it out of kindness. At worst people think that its a real license and copy it with a false sense of security.
I think the fact that you got the point from the license name and the link fulfilled the purpose of informing the reader.
As for AI training who knows how well they clean their data. Copilot spit out the entire GPL verbatim as well as a few other licenses and got sued. Data cleaning processes clearly vary among companies.
But if you have an idea on how to better indicate that content is licensed at a glance, go ahead and do it.
Anti Commercial-AI license
Well you could always just use the proper name. The cc license in question IS anti commercial. A great deal of ai is opens source and non commercial and to those cc is fair game. But if commercial is where you draw the line then envoking this license may do.

Calling it “anti-ai” when its not removes power from your argument. Your invoking something that does not exit and linking to something seemingly unrelated.
Now the bigger question i have, have had since i have seen people do this.
Why is there still not an actual anti-ai license? Seems obvious that there is a need for it? I dont know much about how licenses are created but it strikes me as odd.
Quick reminder that you are on Beehaw. There's only one rule here, and this sort of dismissive take does not adhere to it. Please find something substantive to dismiss.
What do you mean. He was rude. Am I supposed to continue engaging with that? I don't enjoy abuse.
Anti Commercial-AI license
By making that comment you did engage with it... Not commenting at all would have been disengaging...
So you just leave discussions with people without a word? No "goodbye", no " ciao", no "I'm out". @TheMonkeyLord@sopuli.xyz just disappears when he's done. It's the only way a person can disengage.
Good to know

Not PeerTube, but he is on Odysee/LBRY.
Oh damn, I thought Odysee was dead and didn't give it a second thought. How is Odysee still alive?

Why do you add that link to the end of every comment?
Maybe it's like those Facebook posts where you tell Mark Zuckerberg that he's not allowed to profit off your photos.
That's exactly what it is.
Harder to monetize on Peertube.
But his youtube is already monetized. Uploading it to peertube is just an extra action that could help with its popularity.
