We’ve been trained to think in terms of needing more followers and more likes because that’s what platforms say you need to make any money. But they say that because that’s actually what the platform needs, because you having more followers gives them more eyes to show ads to, and more likes helps them understand what kind of ads to show to each person. V4V makes it about you and the art/artists again. Artists can create what they love and people who love it can enjoy it without being manipulated by algos driving some corporate agenda.

That's true! You can see that especially in content with a small audience, like artist drawing commission for furry porn getting hundreds of dollars for a picture. But a big fanbase will still be necessary for V4V right? People are not gonna pay 5-10 bucks for a Minecraft video or a podcast 🤔 Or maybe I'm not as much of a fan 🤷‍♂️ I think I would pay a dollar for an interesting podcast tho 10 cents if it was meh
