HN discusses PeerTube, and the first reply starts with „As a professional YouTuber, the main issue I instantly see with this is the lack of monetization.“
And I immediately think: so maybe that’s the thing we should focus on. Keep that kind of monetisation out to create a place for those that don’t compete for money, but for quality. Yes, I’m that naive, but the Fediverse is an alternative to many things, not a drop-in replacement to for-profit services to me.
