I don't think anyone should be able to monetize themself on here. Donations are fine, but only for the select few actually keeping the servers on.
Bring money into it and most things go to shit.
So what's the motivation of Creators coming to the Fediverse? How is the Fediverse going to grow for more people to want to donate to the servers and keep this amazing thing alive.
Lol...you say this as if people have been marketing it to Creators.
I'm here because Reddit is junk now. I don't follow any "creators", and I rarely leave Lemmy for external content unless I really need to open an article or something.
Creators often have Subreddits and places people want to interact with.
I was more talking about things like PeerTube and the upcoming @loops what is a TikTok Alternative for the Fediverse.
If I were to create content, my reasons to choose the Fediverse over other social platforms would remain the same. I believe in this project! I think it is important to have free spaces, people's spaces.
I'd add a Patreon link (or an alternative to Patreon) for donations. That's it. Some money to compensate for the effort is okay, I don't need and I wouldn't aspire to get super rich from my content.
Yeah, I think that's the conclusion we have come to. Donations are what makes the Fediverse great, I guess it just might be nice to make it easier to display / click on in the future.
