I’ve gone of the google play charts.

I mean independent sponsorships still exist, and for most creators, that’s the biggest source of income anyway.

That’s exactly what I’m worried about.

A peertube approach would be a great way of saving bandwidth

Nobody pays for that much bandwidth without the ability to manipulate you through profiling and impressions. You are the product. The product is not sharing videos. There is no fediverse platform that makes you its whore. If you were to make a video sharing platform, it would never work, because that is not the product, it’s only a feature of what makes up the dopamine machine.

I mean, video streaming platforms already exist as part of the fediverse (Peertube) so i would disagree on you with you on that one.
