Content creators on PeerTube could do in-video product endorsements.. that's already a fairly standard practice on YouTube, which does support monetization.
- viraptor 8y agoIt's a bit of chicken and egg problem though. To get in video endorsements, you need to get very popular. To get very popular, you need a more popular platform than peertube.
- snaky 8y agoIt depends. You obviously need a millions of subscribers to promote the 'appetite suppressant' lollipops - and you need a TV to promote the new life insurance brand. But to triple the sales of HackRF, a couple of thousands niche auditory is enough.
- bduerst 8y agoSponsorships are only one form of monetization. The competitive feature for content creators here is ad revenue sharing. The only thing I got from reading this write up is that it will be pretty easy for someone to create their own instance and throw ads on someone else's content.
- X6S1x6Okd1st 8y agoIt seems like for many creators on youtube the ad revenue sharing is no longer a notable source of their income.
- bduerst 8y agoFor the top 1% of the top 1% maybe. Keep in mind that this is long tail distribution and many creators rely on ad revenue. That long tail is what drives growth for these platforms anyways.
