During the first few weeks of Loops, I want to find and assemble a team of creators who want to pursue monetization in a way that works for our platform, for example: monthly subscriptions.
To build a real and sustainable alternative to TikTok will require monetization, and together with the fediverse communities voice, I think we can chart a healthy way forward that puts a majority of compensation in the hands of creators.
@dansup I agree that monetization will be crucial in the expansion of loops. I thought that it'd be a somewhat seamless transition from Mastodon to PeerTube because of modern editing software (my film editing experience dated back from the early 2000s). Boyyyy was I wrong. It still takes hours to edit a 5-minute long video. And that's not accounting for all the training I need to do with Moxxi before filming (that's enrichment so it pays for itself in intact furniture and happy neighbors).
