@loops @nlnet So the goal is making Loops a marketplace?

think it's make better version of tiktok right? As loops pretty much looks like non corp tiktok already.

@Jkundart then why adding monetization tools?
Show threadkonkiApr 10
@loops @nlnet why monetization? can we just leave that out?

Why should we have to crawl back to meta if we want to make a living on art?

@loops @nlnet any comparison with like, #PeerTube ?

@loops @nlnet Please also consider a share for the site admin and/or dedicated way to contribute to the server costs.

Maybe something like "5% from the creator monetization or max. 10 €/month". Both values configurable by creator and site admin.

Or patreon etc. integration for accounts, like create an account with 10/50/100G disk space or whatever is suitable for loops.

It's nice to enable creators can earn some money, but when the site cannot be paid, it won't help the creators as well...

Monetization would equal Ads correct?
Show threadSamApr 11
I think more like patreon or direct tipping, but without those platforms.

@loops @nlnet I think bringing monetization to projects such as Loops, Peertube, Owncast and other content creating platforms alike is important, as would bring more content creators that do it full time and bring their audience.
