What will content creators gain from this platform? Nothing. So it will never succeed.
- foobarbecue 2y agoThat's what I thought about Wikipedia in 2001.
- jmb99 2y agoWhat direct alternative to Wikipedia had the first mover’s advantage with a billion monthly active users in 2001?
- foobarbecue 2y agoEncarta. (No idea what user numbers were, but it was ubiquitous.)
- jmb99 2y agoDefinitely not a direct alternative, since Encarta was not free nor user-editable.
- krapp 2y ago>What will content creators gain from this platform? Nothing. Honestly, that seems like a feature, not a bug. We already have commercially focused content platforms, not every platform needs to be engineered to maximize engagement, addiction and revenue.
- littlestymaar 2y agoMost people posting on tiktok aren't professional content creators with monetization in mind. And I'm not even sure the biggest revenue stream of influencer comes through the app itself (a friend's brother is an Instagram “influencer” for a living, and he makes the bulk of his money through partnerships on the side not directly from Meta, and I know it's the case for many YouTubers as well).

- toomuchtodo 2y agoPeople can push content creator content to the Fediverse to enable consumption off surveillance capitalism platforms.
- wkat4242 2y agoThe fediverse is full of people still creating content for fun rather than commercial motives. As a result it's a lot nicer too. YouTube is now unwatchable, even if you have premium you need something like sponsorblock as well. There's just so much garbage out there. And once you start playing with addons, why pay for premium if you can just block ads too?
