Fediverse is a portmanteau of "federation" and "universe".

I think peertube has a livestreaming option. But, i don't think a lot of streamers would jump to it because lack of monetization options.

Would ads go against the fediverse principles? There could also be a federated ad network. Where you can choose what kinds of ads you want on your instance and thus content could be monetized.

I'd think it would be a hard sell. But, it's hard to see other revenue models.

As I read in another post, the current revenue models (for devs and hosters) are donations and Patreon.

I kinda like the idea to have an open ad network, with privacy intact of course. I might think about it a little and set up a open source concept for it and post it here to get contributions.

Personally I wouldn't have a major problem with unobtrusive simple banner ads that are not at all personalised like what we had 15+ years ago, though I really prefer to just not see ads at all nowadays.

@gredo @NeonPayload I can see this being a good thing. I don't mind seeing ads so long as I'm not being tracked or shown targeted ones.

I think Owncast might be comparable?
