    PeerTube and the fediverse at large do not lend themselves to earning a money. That is an appreciably difficult situation to be in. I suppose the most one could hope for is to gain some fame and having someone sponsor them through something like Patreon.

      i think it’d be possible, but probably more about sponsor ads entirely rather than youtube ad revenue… i believe that’s the way most youtubers make the majority of their money anyway - ads from youtube are worth peanuts

      @housepanther Yeah I think it will most likely be on a Tip based system unless people can work out something better for the Fediverse. It’s not that bad if it does become a Tip based system as long as people are willing to spend a little on the creators they enjoy sometimes.

      There was an attempt to put together an open protocol for paywalled podcasts (could be generalized to basically anything rss based) by @c@qr.dev at RadioPublic called PodPass. Something like this could maybe be applied to fediverse content, too, as a way to do channel memberships. I keep hoping this can take off again.

      The original spec for PodPass
