I hope Web Monetization takes off. I wouldn’t mind seamlessly paying X cents per hour to whatever site I’m browsing, which also can be distributed to creators. I hope this would enable professional content creators to diversify to platforms like Peertube. Unfortunately it seems the Web Monetization / Interledger platform isn’t quite usable yet. I tried, and it’s all very broken still.
Peertube doesn’t need love, it needs high quality content and high quality content needs money and the money is still on the other side of the street.
Mastodon/x or lemmy/reddit have a different type of content or creators and can thrive without money.
