Oh, there are ads. And they’re not looking for money. They’re looking for power.
I love this place. It seems like real people, real memes, feels like I went back in time to the good internet.
If you glance over at Mastodon, there are absolutely content creators and people trying to self-promote. I suppose they do here too on Lemmy/PieFed, but its just not as well seen.
I don’t necessarily see it as a problem though if its relevant to the community and its something you can choose to disengage with… And also if the person posting it isn’t aggressively spamming every relevant community.
I enjoy it. Reddit makes the ads look like posts and it’s stupid. Tricked me more than a couple times.
Very cool to see the Star Trek instance get so excited and I’m happy for the fediverse that this is happening.

How I wish peertube could become a good alternative for youtube but idk how that would ever be possible, with all the storage of big video files, maybe with torrents? idk
peertube… maybe with torrents?
That’s already how it works.
There are so many people who worry about Peertube’s viability because of bandwidth costs – or straight-up claim it’s impossible – because they don’t realize it’s already a solved problem.
and youtubers want to be paid.
And with good reason, given that high quality content is expensive. Even for a channel that is purely something as simple as video essays, if you’re doing a good job, its going to take hundreds of hours of research and writing, nonetheless something more demanding.
Wrong franchise.
Yeah! this is a Star Trek household damnit!
