    Well, that’s all great. But the big problem with these kinds of platforms is always that hosting all this data (especially videos) is extremely expensive. It’s not necessarily impossible that donations+ads+subs can cover all the infrastructure costs, but generally there’s a need for some sort of big capital backing. Open Source is not something that gets that sort of private investment.

    But hey maybe. I’d absolutely love that.

    The model is pretty successful anyway, some people here have mentioned Pixiv and Nebula.
