@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?

As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.

Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?

    People make a living online everyday through TikTok, YouTube & even Instagram.

    Those three platforms are now the fucking cancer of the internet

    I will give your tiny tiny “influencer”-type brain seven minutes to figure out why that is

    Hint - it’s directly relevant to your question

      So you are willing to let thousands of people lose their job entertaining people… Kind of sucks for a video editor like myself as well as many other people that kind of require the online landscape to survive by allowing people that may not be able to work a normal job to create a living online.

        Who’s being forced to leave their place of income again?

          Creators on TikTok in America, if they pass the bill to ban TikTok. What looks likely.

          @loops is trying to be some sort of 30 second fediverse alternative.
