Hirom comments on YouTuber's Channel Permanently Banned Over Censored Hellraiser: Revival Gameplay Video

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.
