Nebula tightly currates which creators they accept onto their platform. Nobody who doesn’t already have a long track record of creating and publishing quality videos is going to be accepted.

Which is good for viewers - less slop to wade through. But it’s hard for creators to break into.

There is peertube as well, but it lacks monetization

It also lacks an audience at any sort of scale.

I publish on both YouTube and peertube. 3-4000 views on youtube, 10-30 on peertube.

Also published on odysee for a while, with similarly 2 digit views.

You can set up tipping links on youtube on day one as well.

And it has a much bigger pool of potential viewers.

The end result is that channels will just post twice as much slop to get to those hours

Slop doesn’t get return viewers, which is counter-productive to reaching a watch hours (or subscribers) threshold.

I’m honestly surprised they don’t charge for cloud storage for YouTube.

That’s more how Vimeo works. The creators pay a monthly fee (for uploads over a very small threshold of storage) and have the option to PPV paywall their videos.

Small creators cost youtube more than they earn.

Youtube ads are sold by auction, and there is very little bidding interest in small channels with small audiences. The advertisers want as many eyeballs as possible.

But a small channel’s videos cost youtube the same amount to store as a big channel’s videos.

What is the best social media platform for niche content creators?

Like it or not, youtube still has the biggest audience and the best discovery algorithm (even with it’s flaws).

And, even with this latest change, still pays better than other platforms.

So, step 1 is to restore the government

I hope you guys can accomplish that before they permanently destroy your country (and mine, as your president has threatened to do multiple times).

I would rather have my subsistence at the whims of the entirety of the country’s economic activity

Ok, how do we organize that in an equitable manner?

Isn’t that more-or-less what a government is supposed to be?

Your government and mine may be different.

I’d rather have my subsistence at the whims of the government than at the whims of a billionaire business owner.

Why fear that?

People still gotta eat, and unless we can jump directly to a Star Trek post scarcity utopia, people need an income in order to get food.

UBI has been proven to work, but no government has the guts to implement it lest they anger their corporate owners donors.

didn’t see anywhere in the article where they say they were going to buy the houses for that amount

No, but it also didn’t say how many houses might be affected.

I think you know the answer to this - $10 mil on soundproofing doesn’t make the Bottom Line go up

Neither does buying out 10 million worth of houses.

Prosecuted for what, exactly?

For not being nice to the gestapo?
