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. anyone doing what you said could be defederated.

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