No one will create content without ad revenue. Peertube is doomed to fail.
Lots of people did it on YouTube for years. Even more on other platforms.
This is a terrible take, as most content creators I watch already cannot survive off of Youtube ad revenue and rely on third-party monetization, like Patreon subscriptions.
Besides the fact that plenty of people make content for free, from the simple love of creating something.
Didn’t YouTube start without ads? Was doing fine back then, right?
I don’t think it had prerolls during the flash days but it had banner ads as far back as I can remember
Well, no. It’s been losing money for years. But I doubt this will make it profitable.
