I don’t think that’s thaat much of a deal. Most youtubers also need additional revenue streams like patreon and mearch and sponsorships.

Well Doctile Alligator is trying to implement a subscription model. Of cause you can also compile it yourself with your own API key since it keeps being Open Source

There’s going to be Sync for Lemmy soon. Maybe in a month.

I’m currently using WefWef on Android and it’s the best Lemmy app I’ve used so far but it’s a little weird to use an iOS app on android. It’s definitely driving my engagement up though

The reasons to develop it also are ideological and not ecological ones.

PeerTube won’t take off unlike Lemmy did and still does. People won’t switch from YouTube to PeerTube because the creators they watch aren’t there. Also the YouTube Algorithm is what people make use YouTube in the first place.

Reddit isn’t creator based and doesn’t necessarily need an Algorithm since the users choose what to see anyways. So the Lemmy experience isn’t actually that mich worse than the reddit experience

There is one for i2p

There’s The Pirate Bay, Zlib and a few i2p trackers. Probably a couple more. I don’t know any other.
