    I love the idea of peertube, and it works well but without monetization it’s hard to see how any original content worth watching will end up over there

      I don’t really know how much youtube ad-sense really pays out. It seems like for a lot of mid tier content the value is in driving folks to patreon. Even for the big channels the real money is in merch and other monetization methods. The problem is there is just such a smaller audience on peertube it’s doesn’t give the reach to find an audience worth monetizing.
