my cost already went up two months ago, if it hikes again I’m bailing on premium. I think the current price is outrageous as it is. I thought I was going to cancel last time but I never did. but a raise again will put it more then I make an hour, and there’s no way i can choke that down for a free service. I’ll just go twitch only.
Hey you should consider not blocking ads and joining YouTube Premium! By the way we just increased the price of the service you currently virtually have for free.
Unfortunately, until and unless peertube can pay creators (so basically never), it will only ever see use by foss enthusiasts, and even then only hobbyists will use it as their primary platform. For someone making a career out of it, youtube is pretty much the only real option at the moment.
I disagree. I believe that the problem is that if you upload videos there they don’t automatically get a few views. Peertube basically doesn’t have an audience.
Earning money with Youtube already is very hard, you need large amount of viewers and it’s not enough so many youtubers resort to adverts and product placement within their videos.
Peertube actually has a https://feddit.de/pictrs/image/237d749e-e870-402a-83bb-de392458f237.pngbutton that creators can activate. If a user presses it they will see a popup with markdown formatted text where the creator can put their affiliate links, patreon, paypal and whatever they like. I think it’s a very neat solution, since it’s unobtrusive for the user and very flexible for the creator.
I have no problem with paying for no ads, in fact I think it’s ideal. But they keep increasing prices and justifying it by including YT Music. Honestly, if you aren’t paying for another music service already it’s a great deal. Problem is I don’t know anyone that does this.
I did this, but I was paying for YouTube music and then noticed that YT Premium was thrown in. I don’t care about that but my daughter watches YT, so great. Then they raised the price to be significantly higher than other music apps so I cancelled. Right about then, they threw in YT Premium for free with my Fi plan so I was back in. Turns out that was only a 1 year trial and it’s up next week. We’ve moved to another music service and my daughter is learning about ad blockers and alternative front ends now.
