A directory of content creators, so you could see trending videos with just embedded videos from any platform. Content creators could host their content on any platform, bypassing censorship and giving control back to the creators. Everything is just links, nothing is hosted on the directory/content creators page. ALL LINKS.

The content creators could even auto fill the pages with rss feeds.

Multiple videos(content) on sites would just be tabbed. Want to watch something on bitchute, rumble instead of youtube? Same video has 3 tabs. Put which platform you want as first tab.

Options for subscriptions to the content creator feed with "subscriber only" content.

Supporting content creators with merch, with multiple vendors, so prices of merch goes down, or quality goes up, more options of merch. Maybe an API so multiple vendors can hook in. Same for payment processors, ecoin, cards, etc. Creating more companies and competition.

API for advertising companies, let the creators select what ad types. Put the ads at the start of the videos for free, banners, etc.

Global directory of the content with lots of stats, and your feed can be sorted by time(new), hot, random, trending, etc.

Users can host their own servers, they control, that just feeds into the global server (if they want). Maybe paid servers for merch/sub options so there is funding for the main company, % of merch/subs.

All content, Everything, is allowed that is not illegal in the USA.

Free the Internet again, make lots of new companies, decentralize content, make more creators, spread money around.

Directory+Subs+Income+Revenue sources = jobs

I'm just getting to the point where I'll have money to help - I'm looking to sponsor some folk to work on Gnome OS to build apps to fill the gaps. So little innovation is happening on the desktop these days.
I want to own a warehouse where folks send in collectibles and they get a nft back. The nft can then be traded and the physical asset can be returned at any time. Unfortunately I can’t afford a warehouse
