Right! It’s been trending upwards lately. YouTube days are numbered.
YouTube is still very big and used a lot. LBRY/Odysee tried but failed. I hope PeerTube will succeed and I really wish more tech Channels will move to PeerTube as well.
I also believe the web has to become too centralized around Google, YouTube, Reddit, Amazon and alike. The only way to open up the full potential of the internet is to use and promote these platforms. Individual forums as well as software like PeerTube. People will regret if we continue to centralized the web.
I'd migrate to PeerTube but I figure I might be a drain on resources without giving back: I only upload unlisted personal videos for family/friends/myself, of family/friends/myself. Extremely uninterested in sharing them with the general public. Don't want rancid comments about my family, friends, or myself. So I stick to YouTube for all my uploads.
Maybe if I do something useful and informative for others I'll put it up there.

So, YouTube (and cloud) is just somebody else it's computer. A computer which a large company with millions of dollars behind it, that is the main difference.
I understand that. I attract less people to PeerTube, contribute less content for others, if I refuse to make my things public. I'd rather have big, corporate YouTube bear the burden than the smaller PeerTube.
YouTube has 2,5 billion monthly users, that is almost twice the number of monthl users Windows 10 has
If YouTubes days are numbered, they are using a big number
