When are they moving all to freetube or something?

Unless I'm missing something Freetube is a client. So it wouldn't be Jeff moving to freetube it would be you using freetube to watch his content on YT.

I'm guessing you meant peertube instead of freetube and your answer there is "When they can get paid." Making content takes time and costs money and YT pays creators like Jeff for doing it.

I dislike YT alot but there's financial decisions at play here that can't really be argued with.

    Have there been any announcements for plans for monetization on PeerTube? Any idea what that would look like for creators?

    It's not one or the other though. Peertube with patreon can exist alongside YouTube

    Patreon is just one source of income. Ad revenue is another. Its good to have more than one source if you wanna make a living with it.

    I guess I missed your point lol. Is it possible to paywall a peertube video behind Patron?

    It's possible to post unlisted videos that are only visible to folk with the URL.

    Its good for folk who want to give their subscribers early access

    Wait, does it? I thought they have better integration with Patreon to determine if you have access to the video. I guess I never checked if I can still open YouTube videos of channels I'm no longer subscribed to on Patreon.
