As much as I like federation, stuff like nebula seems like a better solution.
Comment on What is this shit? I have to be signed in to watch any video now?

The issue is that nebula doesn’t offer the community aspect that YouTube offers

Start randomly insulting eachother and gaslight one another in comment sections. You’ll build up the hate in no time at all.

It’s not about the comments, it’s more about the creators creating the youtubesphere

I’m pretty sure they don’t let just anyone on Nebula, which is a big part of the problem. Absolutely anyone can upload content to YouTube.

Yeah I have a subscription there. I recommend it.

Making money on merch/patreon can only happen once your channel is established though. Until then, YouTube creators are dependent on ad revenue to keep them going, and probably operate at a loss until they reach the point where they can supplement that ad revenue. Trying to get yourself established on a platform that doesn’t offer any ad revenue is a much harder sell.
