Paging the “how can we monetize peertube” dude that went aggro on the fediverse community few days ago.

I don't think there's a barrier to monetizing beyond developer motivation to write it. Though, I also like strange ideas like providing users the ability to sell irrevocable advertising space next to their comments as NFTs if they have these ads enabled.

What's your area of expertise? In my experience software jobs that pay a livable wage are pretty common, it's finding one that isn't miserable work for a terrible company that's the tricky part.

Bottom left one is laughable. I don't think we'd have Mongo, Elastic, and Redis all on SSPL if that was true. (And yes, I know this post is a joke, I'm not trying to suggest it was a real suggestion.)
