According to FediDB, #PeerTube's monthly active users (MAUs) have just doubled in size, now reaching 33,143 users compared to the 15,712 in September.

Although this increase may appear small at first glance, it's important to understand that joining a #PeerTube server is not an easy task. Unlike other platforms, most servers require users to submit an application for membership. Therefore, this spike in MAUs is not just a reflection of those attempting to join PeerTube, but of individuals who successfully applied and were accepted into a server.

It's clear that we are currently experiencing a #YouTubeMigration, and the impact could be even greater if PeerTube servers allowed immediate access for new users.

Sometimes I like to make jokes about how every time Big Social does something that doesn't please their userbase, the #Fediverse grows. We've seen this happen with Twitter and Reddit before, and now it seems like #YouTube is also experiencing this trend.

YouTube's recent unfriendliness towards ad blockers has led to the rise of PeerTube. It's interesting to note that PeerTube servers like @MakerTube are now requesting additional resources to accommodate the influx of new #PeerTube users, many of whom are adamant about not making any exceptions for YouTube in their ad blocker software.

It's fascinating to see that the Fediverse is currently going through a #YouTubeMigration.
