They aren't. But streamers will be free to host their own service dedicated fully to them, so they can monetize in whichever manner they want.
Some of the big streamers on twitch have devs working for them on custom integrations of twitch with their own platforms for viewer retention.
It's not unlikely that they could pay the same people to build those tools on top of peertube.
- viraptor 6y agoSome of the features would have to be at the protocol level. Subscriptions are one thing that could be done outside, but ads bring revenue as well. You'd have to have reporting of ad views that doesn't get blocked by everyone by default.
- mariusor 6y agoI don't think that ads will every be on the roadmap of peertube. I doubt that video ads are what content creators want for their personal platforms - they will have better (or, rather less intrusive) channels for monetization.
