Hello viewers and welcome to another video.

2
00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:13.600
In the end of May I received a new Terms of Service request from YT.

3
00:00:14.274 --> 00:00:19.314
In this request I had to grant YT the right to monetize my videos.

4
00:00:19.828 --> 00:00:24.457
In other words when I agree, YT can insert ads in the videos.

5
00:00:25.885 --> 00:00:29.702
This is the final straw for me with YT and Google.

6
00:00:30.091 --> 00:00:36.057
I've created this YT channel with tutorials about open source programs, specifically 3D CAD programs

7
00:00:38.656 --> 00:00:42.144
and never had any intention to monetize the channel.

8
00:00:42.624 --> 00:00:47.184
So I definately don't want YT to monetize it for me.

9
00:00:47.872 --> 00:00:59.872
My goal has been to inspire people to use open source software instead of proprietary software and judging by the number of views and reactions I've been mildly succesful with that.

10
00:01:01.152 --> 00:01:08.896
I've put up with all YTs privacy invasing policy and data mining because of the popularity of YT.

11
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:15.792
YT has a near monopoly when it comes to video sharing and has a huge worldwide audience.

12
00:01:16.368 --> 00:01:21.776
So to reach my audience with my video tutorials it made sense to use YT.

13
00:01:22.848 --> 00:01:25.904
However where does one draw the line.

14
00:01:26.176 --> 00:01:31.648
I've created the video tutorials believe it or not with a lot a sweat and blood.

15
00:01:32.160 --> 00:01:36.384
And it's important that I keep souvereignty over these videos.

16
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:41.968
So whether ads will be part of the video is up to me and not YT.

17
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:48.272
This leaves me no other alternative than to delete all my videos (except this one).

18
00:01:48.976 --> 00:01:53.376
Luckily I've already had found an alternative home for my tutorials.

19
00:01:53.584 --> 00:01:55.104
It's called PeerTube.

20
00:01:55.488 --> 00:01:58.384
PeerTube is video sharing software.

21
00:01:58.672 --> 00:02:02.752
But contrary to YT, it is open source.

22
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.304
It's also decentralized and federated.

23
00:02:06.800 --> 00:02:11.696
This means that anyone can create a PeerTube server and host videos.

24
00:02:12.576 --> 00:02:19.680
These servers can connect to each other, hence the federation, and share the videos between the servers .

25
00:02:20.032 --> 00:02:23.792
As a result there is no single owner of the network.

26
00:02:24.064 --> 00:02:33.376
If the server that I joined fails or I don't like the policy on that server I can either upload my videos to another server or even start my own.

27
00:02:33.776 --> 00:02:40.368
I already have some content on PeerTube and I'll upload new videos to PeerTube.

28
00:02:41.472 --> 00:02:45.248
It is unlikely that I'll upload my older videos to it.

29
00:02:45.312 --> 00:02:48.224
but I  figure that they are less relevant anyway.

30
00:02:49.344 --> 00:02:55.760
I'll put a link in the description to the new home of my videos and I hope to see you there.

31
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:59.632
Thanks for watching and keep using open source software.

32
00:02:59.824 --> 00:03:01.248
Bye bye.
