I think your marketing people are giving too much importance to "likes" and 
"views" and losing sight of the main goal: "coverage" and "conversions". Likes 
and views are of no value unless they come with the goods of people actually 
visiting your sites, and then you would not care where those visits were 
coming from, even if they were from (*gasp!*) PeerTube.

That said, we're fine with this. We will also remove the one video we have 
already uploaded from you to PeerTube.

KDAB will lose that viewership, but marketing knows best, right? ;-) The last 
thing we want is a conflict with one of our most valued  supporters.

When the time comes, we will create a playlist on our YT account (which is 
what we were going to do anyway) and aggregate your video only on YT through 
that.

Our original idea was to be able to give you coverage on YT _AND_ PeerTube, 
adding coverage, not subtracting from it. Since it is highly unlikely that 
YouTube viewers will go out of the way to go to PeerTube to watch your videos  
we were not expecting this to affect negatively your viewing numbers -- and 
indeed it wouldn't have.

But sure, whatever.
