yes but I don't think coops in the middle solve this either. they become more useful as they get bigger but that gives them more power and they can always eventually abuse that power. or maybe even just do something that only a quarter of the musicians hate. it can't sustain.
instead imo we need less work on competing systems, more work on protocols/APIs, apps and servers. and then a fuckton of advocacy for decentralized fiat.

we should be able to transfer money directly from a fan's bank to a creator's bank as easily as sending an email or tagging somebody on fedi. no middleman, no crypto. we should be able to decide what we can give per month, track what we consume and automatically divide up and distribute those funds.

Decentralize it. We're getting there. The details are:
Servers and apps for reading, watching and listening that require no middleman. See #ghost #wordpress @wallabag #peertube #owncast #podcasting
The social news feed that lets important news and ideas go viral without algos or anybody being able to shut down access for large portions of the network. That's everything using #ActivityPub.
Direct automatic funding of journalism using an open protocol. #interledger #PublicPatron #FediForFiat

the incentives are to create content for big tech platforms. to work for them. to get promoted by their algos and paid by them. we have a fedi coming together re an fair playing field for discovery, but we all need to come together to make #WebMonetization happen too. #PublicPatron

Most of the money that gets donated to political campaigns, gets spent on advertising. Getting people off media distribution systems with ads and instead funding the work directly, would do so much to fix our political process.
It's a huge part of why I want the #SocialWeb and #WebMonetization to win.

What if you could pay the same for media but have the money only go directly to the creators whose work you spent the most time with? That should be possible with decentralized social media and a protocol for bank to bank fiat transfers. If we gave enough, they'd tear down the paywalls themselves.
