Many are asking me to put my videos on PeerTube, but every time I look at it, I see an overly technical user experience that I do not trust to take off.

What we need is for Mastodon to become a video platform, so THIS social medium which has now matured and people clearly love, gets robust video features.

You do not beat YouTube by making users jump through hoops to watch a video. You beat YouTube by making user sponsored creator videos turn up right in the Mastodon feed.

@artfors thank you.

I see she has a Patreon account which she links to. I thought you meant that the video platform itself had support functions.

Hopefully that will become reality one day.

@randahl maybe one day. It wasn't so long ago YouTube got their own "members"
Show threadDaniel Artfors22h ago
@randahl And the question was IF YOU CAN not how.
Show threadRandahl Fink6h ago
@artfors … which works like Patreon, but with 4 times the cut taken by Google.

@randahl therefore don't I support ether members or patrons, ko-fi on the other hand.

@artfors just subscribed to Veronica with my mastodon account and sent her €5 via ko-fi. 3 clicks. ;) @randahl

@artfors
Yes, there is such a support feature. I guess they will have set up a Buy Me a Coffee account or similar.
