To me it is

the problem is offering a free service to users and creators at the same time

Well that's your problem lol

its not my problem, it's the platform's

Yeah, I guess sure. It's just not the problem I was solving lol

So quit your yammering and keep watching jewtube

<:sargoy:382978736053551104>

the problem you should be solving is youtube's lack of profitability
thats the only reason they maintain their monopoly

there is no other problem

Did you forget about the card companies forcing them to behave the way they do?

Or the hosting companies banning bitchute?

just use a Russian payment processor, camrode

those are wholly seperate monopolies which need competition so that their business tactics fail

but those companies are already profitable -- it is no issue for a based host or processor to take all their customers

What?

literally just that

anyone can set up a server farm and make money

There are no 'based processors'.

There's just Visa/Mastercard

SubscribeStar has based Russian payment processor, camrode

Let's see how long that lasts before it's yeeted by the FTC or something

Or Visa/Mastercard just prevents people from using them

then we'll just have to see, but, its been a minute, so far

No matter what, at some point along the chain, you have to go through a card processor

if Visa starts controlling what people buy, theyll lose money

They already do

like what?

i just bought a gun on Visa

i could buy some porn too if i wanted

and I make transactions with Russian businesses such as Gaijin Games/WarThunder

if Visa starts nerfing people's ability to buy what they want, businesses will just tell you to mail cash

IDK if it would even be legal for Visa to do that

Well, Matercard did it with Patreon 🤷

they pressured a service to ban people

interesting

well, I'm sure Russia will find a way to profit by offering an alternative. In either case your solution doesnt solve this problem either

you need someone to compete with Visa/MC

if they banned Pewdiepie from making a living, it would certainly be a PR nightmare for them

I'm not sure on what legal grounds they can even do this so it seems like some of these people should be suing them
