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.
Because that doesn't sound sustainable
How is it different to other fedi projects/instances 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.
