The only real attempt at monetisation that I’ve seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?

Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn’t mean ads!

    Why does it need monetisation? Why can’t we have a place online where we aren’t bombarded with adverts or having our data vacuumed to sell to advertisers?

    I have no issues with sponsorship in videos or creators plugging their stores/Pateron/Kofi in content. What I mind is pre roll and shoehorned ads partway through content that have no respect for my audio settings or the flow of the content.

      Why does it need monetisation?

      Hosting costs money. “Monetization” doesn’t mean disruptive ads.

        Hosting cost money, so an host can setup a patreon to make money to host his peertube instance.

        Monetisation like YouTube-monetisation means ads everywhere because, monetisation on YouTube comes from publicity.

          That’s a type of monetization.

          Monetisation like YouTube-monetisation means ads everywhere because, monetisation on YouTube comes from publicity.

          OP didn’s ask about “YouTube-like monetization”.

            Op wasn’t very specific on what monetisation he was talking about either.

            What is your point exactly?

              Why did you make crazy assumptions, then?

              What is your point exactly?

              That you made crazy assumptions that were never in OP’s question in the first place.

                1/ I just gave one example of monetisation that is working with peertube as it is now.

                2/ And I explain briefly why most replies make the link with monetisation and ads.

                I didn’t make any assumption in 1, I answer the question : monetisation on peertube is possible right now. In 2, I assume Op didn’t understand why people react often as if monetisation was equal to ads. But I didn’t assume Op was talking about that specifically, because if I was I wouldn’t have suggested an alternative monetisation system in 1 in the first place.

                Lastly, you used the word crazy about me two sentences in a row, on a two sentences post. Chill.

                  The person who couldn’t let the simple and true statement “Hosting costs money. “Monetization” doesn’t mean disruptive ads.” stand is in no position to tell others to chill. Maybe just accept true statements next time.

      I’ll repeat this again: monetisation does not mean ads. If you believe ads are the only way to monetise something, you have been lied to or are giving in to programming.

      Why does it need monetisation?

      How do you think content creators survive?
