It's best use case is self-hosting by established creators funded primarily by patreon subscribers, rather than new creators. But established creators won't abandon the platform with their viewers. So, it's a bit of a jam.
Fediverse platforms also just seem terribly uninterested in supporting creatives' business models, so we get a high minded desert.
