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!

The problem is we're not there yet.

There are no protections for me if I unknowingly let some stranger use me as a host or router for CP or some pedo shit. It's not a risk I'm willing to take. There need to be legal protections in place, like there are for ISPs.

I'm ok with living in a world where liberties are sometimes abused, but I'm not ok with a world where innocents get punished for the actions of strangers.

There are, at least in the US. That's why running a Tor node is legal and so is a coffee-shop sharing their wifi to customers. They are not legally liable for actions of users, they are just routers.

I'm not familiar with those protections, but I'm not confident in them actually holding up in court considering the technical sophistication of the network compared to the technical competence of the courts.

But it's good to know that there are at least protections in theory.

Pretty well established case law at this point. If it weren't, you'd see Tor relay operators, small ISPs, etc being hauled into court constantly.
