Pewds has been dabbling more in Linux and engineering content lately, and considering he's essentially retired and doesn’t rely on YouTube ad revenue anymore, wouldn’t it be amazing if he also started posting his videos on PeerTube in parallel?

He can definitely afford to support decentralized platforms and wouldn’t be held back by monetization concerns. With his reach, even just mirroring his content to PeerTube could bring massive attention to the Fediverse. Do you think he'd ever consider it?

PewDiePie built his fame and fortune on a centralized platform.

I am not certain whether he will see the benefit of a decentralized future beyond dollar signs.

Happy to be proven wrong.

I mean, there's been a lot of Youtubers who move to Linux and then eventually get interested in FOSS and all of its related stuff (like Fediverse) stuff so it is possible. This would be the first time someone on PewDiePie's level has done it though so who knows.
