    Unfortunately this financing requires a populace widely adopting cryptocurrency…making it a pipe dream for mainstream use.

    Tips are generally a bad model as well, which creates an incentive for rapid and pandering work (like ad supported content).

    Patreon had frankly built all of YouTube that is worth watching. I think a simple payment system using real banks can be integrated into smaller hosting services.

    It’s all academic though, YouTube is unrivaled in ad revenue and helping you expand an audience.
