Get supported on the platform you already use
You don't move. Your videos stay on your PeerTube channel, your music stays on your server, your stream stays yours. Supporters who opt in send you a little for every view, listen, or minute — automatically.
- Tips, not tollbooths Your content stays open by default. Supporters who've set it up pay as they enjoy it; everyone else keeps watching for free. Locking things behind payment is possible, but it's a switch — not the point.
- You keep 100% There's no platform cut and no payment-processor fee inside the rail. A supporter's tip arrives whole.
- Nobody holds the money Supporters keep their funds in their own vault; payments settle directly to your wallet. There's no company account in the middle that can freeze, delay, or fold.
- Any size instance Works the same on a huge instance or a self-hosted box with three viewers.
How it feels in practice
A supporter sets aside some money once and decides a budget — say, "up to $5 this month." Then they just watch and listen like they always do. Every counted view or finished song sends a tiny amount (you and your admin choose the rate — fractions of a cent per event are normal) straight to your wallet. They can stop at any time, and they can never be charged past the budget they set.
