    No, I understand the businesses need to have income operate. I’m trying to figure out how you’re planning on running a Video distribution platform and cover cost

      Nebula seems to have figured this out.

      Same with Peer Tube.

      Plenty of ways to run a business or online service or productive enterprise that are not ‘be a shareholder profit driven advertisment company’, just takes a bit of … economic imagination.

        Fair enough, hopefully they can scale up.

        I don’t see the difference in paying for nebula and paying for YouTube though

          My whole point here, this whole hill that I have been dying on, is that mass advertisement targeted at people with algorithmic precision is the problem, because its a worst case scenario combination of pushing regressive / fascist propoganda whilst also enriching megacorporations.

          But your take away was apparently that I was saying something like ‘companies should just provide services/products for free and then just go bankrupt’ … ???
