I modified a image I saw going around last year on Global Switch Day

Perhaps we could use it to make people aware of Reddit alternatives etc. If you can imporve upon the image please do so, and feel free to use it.
I just threw it together in KolourPaint in a few min.
@rumba This is where we need to showcase things like Patreon and other ways of people making money from people who truly enjoy there work, pay people not corporations.
Just saw a headline that says apple is gonna try to start taking a 30% cut on patreon payments…
now go convince all those creators making a living that have both youtube and patreon money coming in to post on a free only alternative and just go to patreon income.
I know it’s not as simple as that, but creators are annoyed of these platforms, mirroring your content on the Fediverse is easy through PeerTube and having ‘uncensored’ or less restricted videos be uploaded onto PeerTube can help.
Honestly, the fact they complain about the platforms all the time while doing nothing to leave those platforms what-so-ever just feels like another manipulation tactic like clickbait titles and thumbnails.
As someone who creates stuff myself, I know how it is, It’s hard to move away from the platforms when there’s so many more people that see’s your content on them.
I wish I could get half the people that get to see my content on PeerTube but sadly as of the moment it’s not the case.
Small creators, sure. The huge ones with millions of subscribers, tho? If they left, their audience would follow them.
it’s super easy to get the content on to peer tube, just not financially sound.
