I feel like it would be best to proxy YouTube, or subscribe to paid indie channels like nebula, but without a user base and without ad revenue or subscription revenue I don’t know how quality content can come to PeerTube. Maybe I’m just missing the content but when I’ve checked it’s all very low quality, just random unedited webcam vblogs mostly.

    I quite listening to a podcast that went hard into streaming crypto coin as a way to boost income. I think I like the idea in principle. But there is something that smells funny to me about cryptocurrency. And I don’t think it actually works that well in principle. Funding open source and open access content is tough.

      Yeah. Maybe call it microtransactions. Or maybe make it a game where you get “stickers” you can post on videos you like. “Stickers” being the equivalent of a like with your avatar posted somewhere on the video page.
