      Content creators won’t follow because there isn’t any monetary incentive to do so. I have been regularly checking out Peertube for 4 years now and it is mostly a backup option for those that one day YouTube might delete their channel.

        Peertube needs a quick and easy way for people to donate:

        • tip button (fixed amount with one click)
        • donation button (customisable amount)
        • subscription option:
          • fixed amount per subbed channel
          • fixed amount split across subbed channels
          • customised amount per subbed channel
          • dynamic amount based on viewing time
          • mix of all the above
