If you have a bit of money to chime in, consider following the link to the fundraiser! Besides those fundraising events, they appreciate recurring donations, securing the development.
Did my part.
I really like the idea of peertube, but until it finds a way to pay creators I’m not sure it will ever be able to replace YouTube.
YouTube is as good as it is because people get paid.
The old school YouTubers just did it for fun, but YouTube was a lot different back then … and as much as I hate how aggressively Google is monetizing YouTube these days, it’s honestly a lot higher quality than it was years ago.
Most of the interesting channels I follow rely on sponsorship, donations or merchandising. For specialized subjects, the youtube algorithm doesn’t acknowledge the value of the audience in terms of advertising (ex: tool brand for car channel).
I won’t donate now as I only do that at the end of the year, but I’m really happy about Peertube getting a good mobile app!
Didn’t they have a fundraiser a few months ago where they got 130000 CAD? Not saying it’s wrong to have more fundraisers, but what happened with that?
Donated!
