Well, backups would have saved his content, but for what viewer base? How is he supposed to use his backups to get his viewer base and income back? It took 10 years to get that.

YouTube/Google is the main or only platform for many content creator.

Easier said than done, but: don't put all eggs in one basket. If the viewer base is following a creator through a mix of channels (YouTube, Mastodon, Vimeo, RSS, newsletter..) then it's easier to notify people "hey I moved to Vimeo/Nebula since YouTube kicked me out, follow me there..."

You just named several platforms with about 7 users each. Would have to be using xitter and twitch, maybe instagram. And obviously tiktok.

See anything in common between those platforms?

Right, I omitted some toxic platforms.

Twitch might be the least toxic, yet owned by Amazon.

Oh yeah, absolutely. I do feel lucky that the majority of the creators I like are on alternative platforms. I know a lot of creators do just use YouTube though. Some of them have even had their personal Google account deleted because of their attached YouTube account.

Unfortunately, even if a lot of viewers follow you on other platforms, creators tend to lose a huge amount of viewers since many do not.
