The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization (deadsuperhero.com)

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.

Yeah, I get it. Volunteers' time should be valued. But, there is more to valuing than money is my counter: authority, respect, community engagement, and a fraternal/paternal element

I salute all mods. And I pay for admins

I mean, you're kind of lifting my point in to a broader area that I wasn't speaking to at the time.

Of course I agree with all that you said. But I was talking strictly in the context of OP's framework.
