@asklemmy How could users Monitise themselves on the Fediverse?

As people possibly move across to the Fediverse to find alternatives, we have to question how people are going to make a living on this amazing platform.

Can it be fully run by donations or is there a better way for people to be paid across the Fediverse?

    So what’s the motivation of Creators coming to the Fediverse?

    Why would we want them?

    How is the Fediverse going to grow

    Why does it need to?

      The reason it would be good is it would bring those who aren’t creators come across. That would be good to have as it would allow for more people and content to come across. The reason this is good as it would stop people having to mix between social media and the fediverse

        More content isn’t by definition good. If you want more content, just have some LLMs generate it and skip the whole monetising step.

        I’d rather see less content of higher quality, and monetisation enshittifies everything.
