Why you should know: StackOverflow is facing a mod strike in a similar way as Reddit’s mod strike. They are doing this in response to StackOverflow’s failure to address it’s promises and provide moderation tools

While I agree, I think this is unlikely because unlike Reddit and StackOverflow modding, YouTube content creators rely on YouTube for their livelihoods.
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.
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.
It can be a gradual switch. They could publish to both platforms and keep promoting PeerTube. When PeerTube gets enough uses, make the switch.
