The only real attempt at monetisation that I’ve seen is https://beetoons.tv/, but they use their own crypto - making it like Odysee. Why is that?

Edit: Please, before you answer consider this monetisation doesn’t mean ads!

    The problem isn’t making monetization available, it’s having sufficient pull in the market to make it viable.

    That’s creating an chicken and egg problem.

    We won’t create monetization options until there’s pull
    We won’t join until there’s monetization

    Someone has to break the tie and it’s much easier for us than content creators.

    When we’re talking about video storage those petabytes start getting really expensive.

    You’re worrying about a scenario a decade out. Also it’s not like peertube is a single entity. It’s a federated group of servers that will each host a part of the total. Not every peer will host the total, so there are no such restrictions on storage.
