I think we should discuss about what is holding PeerTube back. For starters a monetization system
afaik most YT creators get their money from sponsor blocks rather than ads these days, so nothing really changes there… i think the combination of sponsors and some patreon-style system is plenty, so i’m not sure monetisation is the issue
Most ?
every creator that i’m aware of that has done a “how i make money” video rates adsense very low
I've seen mostly around 1/3 which is not nothing.
