    There aren’t many ways to organize raising the money required to build a better youtube or reddit. You could kickstart it, but you’d better hope whoever does the dev doesn’t sell. Another option would be a large open source ngo funding the development, but you’re still talking long timelines to completion.

    There definitely is room for a more pro-social social media platform that isn’t a clone of something else. Paying for it is another matter.

      That isn’t really what I was talking about, but I understand the confusion.

      I meant the people utilising the platform to upload videos etc to get paid.
