I don’t particularly watch/like PewDiePie, but he is joining the train and spreading the word, which is awesome. He is self hosting services and using GrapheneOS now.

      Sponsorships, Ad reads, Product placement.
      He doesn’t need Google inserting ads, they pay pennies compared to other direct deals.

        All of those venues wont be reaching out to you if you are not on YouTube or have enough reach on a different platform. I do hope content creators post on multiple platform but it is not reasonable to think that they can just flip a switch and start posting outside of YouTube.
