Can I put referral ads on my Fediverse blog entries? This is to support myself financially in a world of artificial money, scarcity, and inflation. However, I think putting ads in the federated universe, where people tend to engage in open sharing, seems quite unconventional. Maybe other people will get angry with me; they wanted to escape ads, but I am putting ads anyway, lol.

This is the best article I've read about podcast monetization in a very long time, and I HATE talking about podcast monetization!

podnews.net/article/intimacy-o…

Programmatic ads really only bring in meaningful revenue when they get 100s of 1000s of impressions a month, which forces podcasters to cram 9 or more ads into each episode.

But direct sponsorship is quite different. Better for listeners, the creator, and the sponsor.

Goes in the list of "things to look forward to" for the pre-college kids. #AI will either ruin the #economy or create massive #unemployment which ruins the economy - and fewer #education opportunities to figure out how to still make a living. Mind you - this is not about the current administration alone. This has been going on for decades - this #monetization of education.




Looks fab!

Concerned #accessibility comes after all being worked on now.

I ❤️ #monetization options are planned. Concerned "ad free" options imply ads are planned as part of the roadmap?

Absence of #AI is refreshing!

Is #UnifiedPush part of "push notifications", or just feeding everything via #Google / #Apple? (cue usual: "They're encrypted. Don't ask whether metasdata / future decryption / #MobileLinux matter" discussion)

Project Moebius (#decentalized?), better editing & live streaming look super cool! ❤️

Finally, a regular reminder to please avoid creating a digital 1% elite by focusing "For you" on relevance not rolling-snowball-boosting of already popular accounts/content.

Thanks for all your amazing hard work! 💕 You ROCK!

Yes. But it's still something essential... I mean, earning a living. And that makes me think of video content creators like on YouTube.

It's something that's present and needs to be taken into account. For example, on Peertube, I think there's a feature to provide financial support with a redirect link 🤔

More than one million signatures for "Stop Destroying Videogames". That means the EU has to deal with it.


source: citizens-initiative.europa.eu/…

This initiative calls to require publishers that sell or license #videogames to consumers in the European Union (or related features and assets sold for videogames they operate) to leave said videogames in a functional (playable) state.

Specifically, the initiative seeks to prevent the remote disabling of videogames by the publishers, before providing reasonable means to continue functioning of said videogames without the involvement from the side of the #publisher.

The initiative does not seek to acquire ownership of said videogames, associated intellectual rights or #monetization rights, neither does it expect the publisher to provide resources for the said #videogame once they discontinue it while leaving it in a reasonably functional (playable) state.

I'm actually kind of frustrated.

Once more we see a #socialmedia exodus and not a single one of the fun content creators I love from say #Instagram make their way over to #Mastodon, #Pixelfeed or #Loops. Why?

BECAUSE NO DIRECT #MONETIZATION!

Do you understand what weeks or months of labor looks like? If no #ad revenue, if no #superchat, if no #donate button, then why even make the effort?!

The #fediverse needs to grow up and carve out direct paths to monetization.

#Decentralize the bag!


Subscriptions and Monetization are Coming to Bluesky — Here's How They’ll Work

Bluesky is launching subscriptions in 2025, offering custom icons, extended video uploads, and more for self-expression. Monetization for creators will follow, allowing them to earn directly on the platform. Still no plans for ads or putting content behind a paywall.

To get more visibility, it seems you need to buy the blue checkmark or a premium subscription. I’ve heard LinkedIn can boost your impressions too, but I haven’t shelled out for that either. #Monetization #LinkedIn

I'm contemplating whether it's worth delving into BlueSky. On one hand, their product is noticeably more convenient compared to Mastodon. On the other hand, what is BlueSky really? What is their strategy? Having secured $8 million in a seed round, they've entered a predictable game. Despite their current promises, this may lead to standard recommendation algorithms aimed at increasing advertising volume. As an entrepreneur, I understand the need to build a monetization model, and there's nothing wrong with that. But the question is: will BlueSky become yet another mass-market product that sooner or later ends up in the hands of another Elon Musk, as happened with Twitter? So I've decided for myself: BlueSky is interesting, but it's not worth fully transitioning from Mastodon just yet.

I'm not particularly interested in monetization on social media, but will definitely keep an eye on the work that @bart, @quillmatiq, and the rest of the @subclub team are doing in this area.

Really want to see fediverse to remain sustainable and appreciate that folks are working towards that goal.
