    Do you know of an instance that is able to cover all their expenses with ads?

    I want a peer tube instance with ads because I want to make sure my uploaded data is durable long-term

      Why not just pay them? I feel like fedi is based more on that than ads, a lot of us on fedi hate ads.

          How is it different to other fedi projects surviving off of donations?

          Most will likely block the adverts anyway, so I fail to see how it’ll make money that way.

            I mean, I still block all ads on YouTube, but they still make wayy more money than they need just to pay for the infrastructure. Peer tube would only need to make a fraction of what they make.
