"Better" in the sense that they are more polished and edited, but unfortunately that means more filtered, targeted and biased. There is an intrinsic, authentic value in raw productions that gets lost or doesn't exist in the former.

Hence https://joinpeertube.org/en/ existing and growing. YouTube has demonetized & banned LGBTQ+ mentioning videos[1], and continues to tighten the noose around those that make it a viable platform.

So they all “sold out” to reach a bigger audience? Man! I used to like that band before they became popular. Now they just suck!

Sheesh...

Hey, there's a bit of truth to the joke.

> unfortunately that means more filtered, targeted and biased

Usually, appealing to a mass-market means less targeted/biased, more generic. The hipsters always want their bands to stay weird.
