Has anyone realized that you could post your videos to your Peertube and have YouTube pull them in via the Podcast RSS Feed? Or am I the only one that didn't realize this?
Which means you don't have to upload to YouTube AND Peertube. You can upload to Peertube and YouTube will grab it for you.
This of course only applies to those that WANT their content on YouTube. If you don't, that's totally fine. I'm doing this to advocate for the Fediverse so I think it's a necessary evil.
