So Elon gutted Twitter, and people jumped ship to Mastodon. Now spez did… you know… and we’re on Lemmy and Kbin. Can we have a YouTube to PeerTube exodus next? With the whole ad-pocalypse over there, seems like Google is itching for it.

    So would it be feasible to run a peertube instance with content at sufficient scale, then inject and sell ads?

      I meant in video ads as in “this video is sponsored by…”. At least i think that’s the case. There is no built in way to have ads in peertube. Everything would have to be supported by links to services like patreon.

        I thought that’s what you meant, but a revenue model where the hosting instance provider splits the ad revenue with creators would be better than the monopoly.
