there is a class of YouTubers who sustain themselves through donations and merch rather than Adsense revenue. The challenge lies in whether a creator can successfully transition to relying solely on Bitcoin for support. The prevailing dominance of Bitcoin's meta poses a hurdle for creators and their audience who do not wish to delve into the complexities. It's crucial for the meta to acknowledge that it doesn't scale seamlessly with adoption and serves as a cheerleader rather than a central player in the creator-support dynamics. Until that cultural realization takes place, the answer is no, regardless of the technical reality of hosting long form videos on decentralized servers.
