Good day all. I now have a nonprofit called BT Free for Big Tech Free. It is a digital privacy rights, advocacy and consulting nonprofit. We're currently working on our 501(c)3.

Our first platform is Peertube, set up at TubeFree.org. We have registrations open, but no upload. If you'd like to upload, we're looking for quality content on our moderated instance. We can also attempt to help folks get their own set up if folks would prefer to do that. The goal is to start actively building out system to help people move from Big Tech.

This is still a major work in progress, but I'd love to hear folks thoughts on any creators that might be receptive to copying their content to Peertube or any platforms people would be interested in having to move your content to.

I'm investigating some kind of revenue sharing or something with creators. I also want to pass on funds to developers actively working on the Fediverse.

And I have a thought to take donations, but also maybe do like some and charge monthly amounts for more resources. Or do funding drives. Other things. If anyone has suggestions I'd love to hear them.

I might even run our own BT Free community here on Pieces.social if folks would be interested in following that.

For creators it falls down to monetization. White AdSense often isn't the sole source of income it does serve to be a starting income before merchandise and sponsorships start keeping them afloat.

Yup. I'm never going to be able to give Youtubers Youtube money. But I'm asking my accountant about some kind of rev share or something. It's still a work in progress. This instance though is to help onboard those that are interested in an alternate platform that do it for their community. Hard ask, but we'll be here for the long haul, hopefully. :-D
