If you’re building a sovereign creative workflow, YouTube isn’t just a risk. It’s a trap.
If you must use YouTube (for reach), host the full video off platform and link back to your own domain.
YouTube is where people discover you.
Your domain is where people experience your content without surveillance.
Post a Short Teaser or Excerpt on YouTube
- Upload a 1–2 minute trailer or highlight clip
- Title it clearly: “FULL VIDEO at [yourdomain/your-post]”
- Put your site in the first line of the description
- Watermark your domain on the video if needed
This turns YouTube into a traffic funnel not a content host.
Why It Works
- You own the content, the analytics, and the viewer experience
- You’re not feeding your viewers to Google’s ad engine
- You’re not getting flagged or demonetized for content that doesn’t fit Big Tech's terms
-----------
More to come for Creators to actually own their own content this July

Two fools met. One man that wants to slap another man and the other man that lets him do it.
I'm back after Prague and happy to be live tonight with Dave Bradley, Nolan Bauerle and Joe Carlasare!
Catch us in 30 mins at 6pm ET

Beekeepers of tomorrow will have robots tending the hives. 😆 Crazy time to bee alive. Love his enthusiasm. 🙂

This is bullshit and an attack on a channel simply sharing freedom and education not pushing any thing. Events like this remind us how important freedom of speech and everything decentralised is. - https://primal.net/btcsessions nostr:nprofile1qqspnzgrfett3asxcuj0gksje6z2zxzpvgd27uvz58m9vsuqh8zzw6cpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9uhxtnyd9nkwmm09e3k7mgpr9mhxw309a382emdv9hzumt8w4ujumn9wsargwp58q5s0kpa sorry to hear of this situation mate. Self custody and the importance of being sovereign matters!
Most disappointed I've ever been in YouTube. Ridiculous.
Happy Hump Day

Beautiful day for a canoe trip on my 61st birthday. @BitBees and I laughed alot, swam alot, and even got to see an Indigo Bunting at the end. That was a treat. 
Insane chart
