Peertube is better, but glad creators are thinking ahead.

There is no way to monetize them by their very definition and mission statement.

There absolutely is:

merch sales
sponsorships
donations

The only monetization you'd be missing out on is AdSense.

Their own website says it was "created for non-commercial purposes".

Who? Peertube? What it was created for doesn't matter when they don't run your channel.

Again, he doesn't do sponsorships and doesn't want to. Missing out on "only" AdSense is one of two revenue streams (the other being donations/patron).

And you're conveniently ignoring the other points about discoverability. There isn't any on peertube. So you can't even grow the last remaining revenue stream.

So what you meant to say was that he does not want to, not that it's impossible...?
