All of this led to me ditching all of those (except YouTube, this is without a real alternative due to the content exclusively hosted there) and starting to self-host my stuff and joining the Fediverse.

To have some sort of viable fediverse alternative to YouTube, the developers of it would have to abandon some of the free software principles that current fediverse platforms uphold. There needs to be a way to monetize to attract creators and get people to host the servers

If it were possible, I'd like to continually donate a given sum of money to an account that split the proceeds between the content creators and the people hosting. Granted, while I'm unemployed, the best I can do currently would be to donate hosting directly
