With streamers like Disney Plus, Hulu, and Max growing increasingly expensive, subscribers need to think about what they really want and need from these services.

      Minus the crypto (save for big maybe monero), I completely agree. I just don’t want to primarily support the middle men and would rather support the creators. I don’t mind giving them some money to distribute the media, but not even close to the lion’s share they get now.

          It’s sad how certain words and technologies get saddled with reflexive opposition even when it makes perfect sense to use them. Nuclear power is another example.

      I know it sounds naive but honestly I just wish I could consume media and when I like it I can just send them some money without any hassle.

      So the artist gets a cut of every stream? Isn’t that just Spotify’s model, which is infamously kinda shit for the actual artists?

        Spotify’s model is basically how can we screw everyone, and keep the maximum for ourselves. Bandcamp is probably a better example, where artists actually get the bulk of the sales.
