Brave expands Basic Attention Token platform to YouTube

But the status quo of "Put tons of work producing content and hope that youtube doesn't demonetize, because then my patreon links get deleted." is also pretty fucked.

I am just glad somebody is trying to fix content monetization online without taking 30% for, what, handling payments?

Well, in all honesty, youtube does a lot more than "handle payments" - it actually serves those videos, it finds advertisers and collects money, matches content with ads.

You can argue how well it does the job (especially at the last bullet point) but it should be obvious that it does do in fact more than just "collect money".

I was speaking more of platforms like patreon.
