I had this idea for an open source app like Spotify or YouTube, where everyone can join and add content to it. Consumers pay either by donation, subscription or ads to keep the server and development running (non profit) and increase the content creator pool of money.
Every click or view gives the artist a % of that money pool. But they get alot more when they still have little amounts of views and more if they are loyal to the platform. The more they get, they ll reach a point where they have enough money to support themselves by making music or videos.
After this point you get more or less exponatially less money per view, but in return they fund all the other starting artists with their success, while still having a solid but slower growing income source. Making monetary success a more community driven goal.
Just an idea any critique/addition is appreciated.
The creators I watch on Nebula remove their sponsor segments for the videos they release on the platform.
Doesn’t happen in my experience, and even if, sponsorblock can also skip the ‘pls subscribe’ and other annoying parts.
Best scenario would be to implement it into newpipe, which should be possible somehow. But not if nebula chooses to stick to it’s own app, which I find very bad overall.
I agree the nebula app is pretty terrible. I’m willing to accept a bit more jank if it means it helps creators. Thankfully, they allow you to get an RSS uri for their podcasts, which includes the actual audio. It would be dope if you could do the same with their videos, but right now they just have feeds that link back to watching on their app or website.
