    Whelp, here’s a toast to the future where the creators we enjoy can be supported through a more federated system.

    I don’t think there’s any way to beat YouTube’s infrastructure right now, and you can’t even replicate it without a steady supply of blank checks.

    Any geniuses out there know how to think of a system design that’s FOSS, competes with YT’s pay structure, and who knows what’s the best supply for that pay? I hate advertisements.

    How do we take the money that we already spend for subscription services and funnel that into some kind of pool to be equitably distributed to content creators?
