>People will leave YouTube once enough bullshit piles on

Not convinced. Many watch influencers and monetized channels and they won't leave.

I'm surprised more content creators do not upload their content to other platforms. the video is already made. is yt really the ONLY monetizing platform outthere?

YouTube is the best monetized platform for videos. TikTok is notorious for paying terribly. I don't think Facebook pays much either. You pay Vimeo to host videos on their platform.

The other alternatives like Nebula and Floatplane paywall all viewers, and doesn't seem open to new creators without a viewerbase.
