That's fair, but the number one complaint about YouTube is the ads, and I do think content creators deserve to be compensated for their time. Perhaps a way within Peertube to donate to the creator?
Yeah, PeerTube already has that. Everyone can add their info about sponsoring and it'll show up. I also think this is the correct path towards a good video platform. I don't think Framasoft wants to become a payment provider and hire lots of people to handle money, disputes and legal stuff, so this is the next best thing they can do... Just let the creators upload their patreon, ko-fi, buymeabeer or IBAN number, whatever they like. And all of this is already there for quite some time now.
Yeah, I wouldn't want to do payment processing either. Thanks for the information though, as I haven't really used Peertube since I don't use YouTube much.
