Why haven't we figured out monetisation for peertube? (programming.dev)

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!

So, in your pottery story only one in 10 mass produced pots would be better (by some fuzzy criteria) than those by somebody who actually pit their mind and creativity to it? Sounds wasteful AF, dude.

Similarly, a glance at that Geerling guy's website tells me that he is already maintaining around twenty different social profiles. So I guess his Youtube ad revenue goes into supporting that promotional effort, as well as the amazing work I've never heard of.

I respect your efforts with Communick, even if I don't agree with your examples. I'm just not interested in an internet that tries to center commercial revenue as a raison d'être. I'll support people who would be doing what they do without that motivation.

I'm not arguing for "commercial revenue as a raison d'être". I'm arguing that it's a numbers game.

Even if 100% of the people here on this small, elitist, open web were "good" (which is not true), a web that is universal and only 10% "good" would be better.
