      I think peertube has a livestreaming option. But, i don’t think a lot of streamers would jump to it because lack of monetization options.

        Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.

            As I read in another post, the current revenue models (for devs and hosters) are donations and Patreon.

            I kinda like the idea to have an open ad network, with privacy intact of course. I might think about it a little and set up a open source concept for it and post it here to get contributions.

              Personally I wouldn’t have a major problem with unobtrusive simple banner ads that are not at all personalised like what we had 15+ years ago, though I really prefer to just not see ads at all nowadays.

                Also, if one platform instance, eg. Lemmy.ml decides to not show any ads but lemmy.world does that would be fine too.

                I think the most difficult part to figure out, would be the payment system. Is there anything that’s privacy friendly? PayPal is not, not sure about stripe, don’t know others except ones that only work in my country.

                Yeah I’m thinking of something where the system showing the ad can give tags/keywords and corresponding ads show. Each instance can decide on whitelist/blacklist basis what kind of ads they want to send out (e.g. specific advertisers, sfw/nsfw, banner/text/video).

                So you would subscribe to a specific instance of the ad service and get only ads they deem ok, including ads from other instances. So you can publish to all instances but the instances decide what they give out/show.
