revenue share or something for content creators
Where’s the revenue coming from? The content creators paying to store their own videos?

It's just an idea at the moment. I don't know if it's feasbile, practical, or even allowed legally. Hence why I have to talk to my accountant.
But my idea is to generate income either through donations, funding drives, sponsors in the banner, etc. Or to do like a service where you can upload X amount of videos for $/month.
Then once we've hit break even, assuming we do (yes I know this is a difficult task atm), to share the additional revenue with content creators.

Shouldn’t you have talked to them before starting the non-profit?
I do not claim to have any expertise (and defo not an accountant), but that sounds backwards to me.

I already have some folks interested in joining. I didn't want it to be attached to me as a personal entity, so no. I don't think it's backwards. You can't ask people to come to a restaurant that doesn't exist yet.
Maybe it is. I've never run a business. So this might all flop. But I have to try at least. I personally believe the Fediverse is the next evolution of the web. And we need to help it where ever we can.

I support content creators being able to make a living in the fediverse (without enshittifying it).
So… good luck. I hope you find a healthy way to go about it.
