Good day all. I now have a nonprofit called BT Free for Big Tech Free. It is a digital privacy rights, advocacy and consulting nonprofit. We’re currently working on our 501©3.

Our first platform is Peertube, set up at TubeFree.org. We have registrations open, but no upload. If you’d like to upload, we’re looking for quality content on our moderated instance. We can also attempt to help folks get their own set up if folks would prefer to do that. The goal is to start actively building out system to help people move from Big Tech.

This is still a major work in progress, but I’d love to hear folks thoughts on any creators that might be receptive to copying their content to Peertube or any platforms people would be interested in having to move your content to.

I’m investigating some kind of revenue sharing or something with creators. I also want to pass on funds to developers actively working on the Fediverse.

And I have a thought to take donations, but also maybe do like some and charge monthly amounts for more resources. Or do funding drives. Other things. If anyone has suggestions I’d love to hear them.

I might even run our own BT Free community here on Pieces.social if folks would be interested in following that.

    Back then videos were a lot less produced and more raw style.

    Most successful channels now have several hours of editing for each video

    I’d need to spend all my free time making and editing videos

    I’m noticing a recurring theme here. You seem to think every channel and video needs to be really high production quality for some reason. They don’t. Look at channels like penguinz0 and SomeOrdinaryGamers. Both of them are just dudes ranting into shitty webcams with the trashiest of production value and both of them have tens of million of subscribers. And it’s especially impressive considering it’s easier than ever to make high quality productions.
