@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?
As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.
Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?
Do people have to make a living of it?
Can’t we have a place online where out data isn’t being sold, aren’t being bombarded with ads, or begged for subscriptions?
Only when people can afford to have a hobby.
Or post revolution.
People make a living online everyday through TikTok, YouTube & even Instagram.
If the Fediverse wishes to make not only a space but a better place for those who use it for personal use but also those creating great content, then we need a way for them to earn money well not taking away the great benefits of no ads on the Fediverse.
Those three platforms are now the fucking cancer of the internet
I will give your tiny tiny “influencer”-type brain seven minutes to figure out why that is
Hint - it’s directly relevant to your question
So you are willing to let thousands of people lose their job entertaining people… Kind of sucks for a video editor like myself as well as many other people that kind of require the online landscape to survive by allowing people that may not be able to work a normal job to create a living online.
