The main source of revenue online are from advertisers. Because of advertisor demands, they can choose what content they want to host advertising for. This causes content creators to not create authentic content but content that is curated and friendly to advertisers. It’s a method of control and removing funding from content creators and people looking to make online sources of revenue. Essentially, advertisers can manipulate trends, viewer content, and content creators financial-freedom oportunities online. This also means they can curate and negatively influence content crestors with political views they do not like.
We need to go back to a less curated advertiser system where advertising is hosted to content creators regardless of what content they create. We need to go back to an advertising system which all online content has the ability to display ads without being manipulated by advertisers picking and choosing who gets advertisment money. Ultimately, we need to go back to systems where all online content creators can host ads and make a profit.
With online sources with the ability to host online ads, people can reestablish making a source of funding online and create the content and experiences that inspires each other to create, collaborate, and achieve financial independence. The people can reclaim the online space, create businesses, and make a living with online content creation.
