william ⁂ maggosI'm sad to see it ending (mostly thanks to Trump but also costs) while I also wish it could have been live more regularly and less corporate. I dream that #owncast #peertube and #PublicPatron could bring it back in that format.
and that third party should be your own bank. we should decide how much we can give per month and our apps should tell our bank how much time we spent with each item and then divvy up and distribute the money at the end of the month. with all media decentralized ala podcasting and attention democratically determined via fedi boosts.
yes but I don't think coops in the middle solve this either. they become more useful as they get bigger but that gives them more power and they can always eventually abuse that power. or maybe even just do something that only a quarter of the musicians hate. it can't sustain.
instead imo we need less work on competing systems, more work on protocols/APIs, apps and servers. and then a fuckton of advocacy for decentralized fiat.
Much of my site from 1998 is up there too but I've been annoying people with this #PublicPatron idea since 2007.

and let's go further. decentralized media is one third of what I call #DemocracyOfReach, the other two being the social news feed (my perhaps better term for microblogging) and automatic/direct financial support.
anybody should be able to create the content however they want and anybody should be able to consume it however they want, no middleman. then it goes viral based on human boosts. then we pay creators what we can for time spent with it.
I understand how people are coming to think of a podcast as just a talk show. But what's special is the distribution. That no corporation has to be dealt with to make them available to the world. That both creators and consumers have total choice in apps and services. This is already possible with video and getting better with text and music. And with fedi, we don't need them for attention. Next, auto/direct support.

thanks for saying this. the next step is leading a movement away from the services using these algos. I know YouTube algos are helpful to you but they are ultimately bad for society. help us build and grow alternatives. people are already doing the work, they just need more attention, money and users. please.

we should be able to transfer money directly from a fan's bank to a creator's bank as easily as sending an email or tagging somebody on fedi. no middleman, no crypto. we should be able to decide what we can give per month, track what we consume and automatically divide up and distribute those funds.
howdy! you might be interested in #peertube and #owncast. I dream that these are the future of video. full independence. we've just gotta figure out how to get creators paid. perhaps #PublicPatron.

I've been dying to see this vision take off. decentralized Spotify where the music comes from artists' websites and some version of your friends' boosts replace their algorithm. then maybe we can support them via a monthly donation that gets automatically and directly paid to them based on the percentage of our time we spend with their work. #PublicPatron
