With the change in political atmosphere I suspect they’re going to get a lot more leeway to do things we don’t care for. I wonder if they could lobby to make ad blocking illegal.

I find it infuriating that the “free market” doesn’t let me bid on an empty ad slot on my own videos and instead makes me pay a flat rate monthly fee.

That’s what people are doing with sponsored segments.

My gut is that if Peertube had an ad marketplace that content providers would flock to it. But ODYSEE already failed at monetization. And then you’d have to have some kind of guardrails in place to keep people from hosting parties movies for $$$.
