blocking people immediately
accepting black peoples' expertise
ethnic dough pockets filled with meat

touching grass
talking to the doctor about pooping
stretching

Maybe it's just me, but even if my free, unmonetized, charity-sponsoring video was theoretically paid for by my little-used Patreon (because Patreon is in no way my leading source of income), it would sure be weird to have worked for like 8 months on an 11-hour video and only get like $20.

"bluesky elder sargoth, are you saying this whole thing is a tech demo that accidentally got popular and they never updated their business model so they're now running a company that makes tech demos but for inexplicable reasons runs a major social network as an unmonetized loss leader?"
'tis true

Like, man, people just say words. They say words, and they see things, and they ascribe some hidden meaning to those things that were never there, sight unseen, and then they run around so confident they've struck gold, and they're so proud of themselves.

I am not one to talk, because I compiled one video about a person (who actually DID legitimately harm COUNTLESS people) into 11 hours (unmonetized).

That having been said, this guy has been milking this in parts for over a year, MONETIZED, it's up to 7 1/2 hours of video, and IS NOT DONE.
Part 8?! Jesus Christ.

CEMBALEST: “.. alternative investment managers are swimming in the deep end of the pool: buyout and venture portfolios are full of unmonetized companies .. and private credit funds have loosened underwriting standards after a deluge of committed capital.”

Struggling to understand the business model of posting lukewarm takes on an unmonetized social media site

Strong overlap of the people who dislike Bluesky and the people who find the notion of meaningful, sincere, unmonetized engagement alien and baffling.

Don't let a murder go unmonetized. 🤑

'Sometimes when I make a game people tell me that it reminds them of “the old internet.” When they say this I think that they basically mean that I’ve made something fun and unmonetized largely for the joy of…making something fun'

Yep I get that a lot too

There should be fair use exceptions for small unmonetized accounts. People using and enjoying ones content helps the artist as long as someone isn't profiting off of them

Youtube's copybots are too dumb to tell difference between monetized and unmonetized fanworks

My new #Electronic #PowerMetal #Metalmusic music album Dream of Omnimaga is now available on #Deezer #Amazon #Apple #Napster #Qobuz and unmonetized on #Spotify . Of course it's also available on #Bandcamp and #Artcore as well. push.fm/fl/doomnimaga

Recent conversations have made me think of this: "As nature abhors a vacuum, capitalism abhors an unmonetized database."

I make up stories for money and yet the smelliest people in the world think I’m gonna do it for likes on an unmonetized website

Thanks for the input!
I've gone back to strictly following my LiveJournal Escape Protocol. Post on my hosted WordPress first, my Dreamwidth second, and then...Substack. Unmonetized because I've never trusted them. Suspicions confirmed. Once I figure out how to send the WP to subscribers...

It’s fun being an unmonetized YouTuber, I gotta struggle to get my ~500 views per short damnit
January 25, 2025 at 5:25 AM
I miss DeadJournal because I could post long-form, unmonetized thoughts into the ether and also there were a bunch of girls I was friends with who would be like, "oh man, that's terrible and it sounds like you're going through it, have some tiddies." And then post their tiddies in the comments.

It should be fandom. Fandom should be our silly little unmonetized hobby purely for fun. But here we are in professional zine business corporatized fandom Genshittification hell and I’m so mad about it.
Please make sure that you have at least one hobby that isn’t monetized, just something silly, healing for fun. Not everything has to make money ✨

So the hobbyists who'd made the internet great now had the prospect of getting a ton of money from a VC, which was obviously enticing, and it was understandable that so many jumped at it. But that came with strings, and those strings destroyed the unmonetized communities ecosystem from before.

Yeah, however leaving them unmonetized should be fine for 99% of music copyright issues and being that twitch VODs are unmonetized anyway it’s not really a loss.

for most people that are just archiving YouTube is the best solution, however, there probably is no *perfect* solution.
