He has a point. Why would he want his "performance" to be featured on proprietary video formats or platforms? Even ignoring the proprietary part, he'd basically provide exclusive content to yt without compensation.

Speaking of which, maybe he could address Github blocking indie search crawlers.

Maybe so that he could reach a larger audience.

His reach is large enough at this point I guess. Maybe he also makes a living from giving talks, which he'd undermine by being on yt.
