42 sats \ 5 replies \ @ek 10 Oct \ on: Poll of the Day: When will LN based Video Streaming Platform replace Youtube? lightning
YouTube is great for creators with its integrated studio and analytics.
Competitors (nostr/LN-based or not) need to also compete with that, not only with its network effect. YouTube is more than just what you see as a consumer.
Also, there needs to be an incentive to send sats. FOSS has shown that relying on donations is not the way to go.
Or maybe it is the way to go since FOSS keeps going but you need to accept being miserable if you do it full time.

I agree.
The plight with YouTube and other centralized platforms is that the consumers don't get the reward. It's divided between youtube and creators.
If our platforms can change only this things, they will get successful much earlier.

Why should consumers get a monetary reward? They get content for “free” (minus privacy impact of ads).

You tag price to content, I'll tag price to my time.
Time is always more precious.
Consumers should get reward for watching ads, these days ads adathon.

Ads only exist to compensate creators since there wasn’t a better way for monetisation before.
Would you rather receive sats for watching ads or simply pay for no ads? 1
I think sats for ads should be a different product than YouTube on LN.

I'd rather like YouTube divide the revenue between creators, audience and itself.
The same can be applied to our platforms. Can't it be?
