I’ve been thinking a lot recently about PeerTube, Loops, Bandwagon, and other platforms in the Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you’re welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce.

Not “Big Capitalism” commerce, but the ability for people to buy and sell things, support projects, and commission their favorite creators to keep making more stuff.

People pay money to the ISP. Usually too much money. ISP should distribute monies to content providers and leave the users alone.

There is nothing stopping anyone from running ads and making deals with creators.

There is nothing stopping creators and hosters from accepting payments via Monero.

Also, we should stop trying to figure out how to make other people money.

Lemmy loves free labor and freedom washed exploitation. Not sure you'll find a lot of support here.
