YouTube Premium is getting yet another price hike for users across the globe

I really wish PeerTube would take off, or any other alternative.

You can’t really monetize PeerTube though, so you’re never going to get full time creators there. Media distribution has always been a choke point. Always will be.

I mean… there’s Nebula which is basically that, but who goes to Nebula, it’s full of lefties and educators and theatre people.

Lots of channels have a link to their Patreon or a tip jar; lots do live reads.
