Building decentralized alternatives is no longer the problem. The struggle is finding a way to handle the money without middlemen. The current systems prove people will pay. I think they can just be asked to, not forced to. If only the systems were as easy to use, especially if they knew much more of it would go to whose work they appreciate.

Eventually we'll all be paying for our media via a donation amount we set up to be auto distributed to creators based on the percentage of our time spent with their work, out of all the time we consumed media for that month. It will liberate creators from advertiser and business concerns and put independents on the same level as big media corporations.

But to get there, we need a fiat transfer protocol. Maybe somebody who will benefit could give them some press.

Great episode with @rabble and @mallory. In this new age of our government going after even big media creators, we need to reach out to them to help fund #SocialWeb decentralized distribution (that thus nobody can squeeze). That will also require a decentralized funding solution like #interledger. Maybe #PublicPatron.

@ricmac

the incentives are to create content for big tech platforms. to work for them. to get promoted by their algos and paid by them. we have a fedi coming together re an fair playing field for discovery, but we all need to come together to make #WebMonetization happen too. #PublicPatron

@hamishcampbell

I think of it as just being able to directly fund creators. No corporate middlemen. Built on an open protocol for bank to bank fiat transfers. An alternative to both crypto and big tech services like PayPal.

ultimately I'd like us to be able to just set a monthly amount in our bank and have it automatically be divided up and sent out to the creators of the work we spend time with ( #PublicPatron). It takes off if enough of us give enough this way.

Most of the money that gets donated to political campaigns, gets spent on advertising. Getting people off media distribution systems with ads and instead funding the work directly, would do so much to fix our political process.

It's a huge part of why I want the #SocialWeb and #WebMonetization to win.
