My point was purely to point out to the previous poster that a “taking money” option exists and not to discuss whether it is a particularly good option.

without taking money from viewers

Youtube premium leads to add free for those that have it which is kinda like taking money.

As a viewer, I like Nebula. As a creator, I can’t just “get on nebula” in the sense that I could on youtube (not that my content would fit with most of what they have anyway).

OSM is good for some things, but is missing a lot in Japan last time I checked. It also has no transit, sadly. It also has no English (edit: for map labels, I mean) which is a problem if one’s Japanese isn’t native level (and even my wife who is native doesn’t know how to read place names in some areas, particularly in Hokkaido).

That does remind me that I should see if there’s anything I can add again, though.

Maybe because I’m in Japan, but mapy is unfortunately useless. Waited 30+ seconds and it wouldn’t load any map here (or even when I zoomed and moved a bit from Germany initially). Is really like to replace Google maps but it’s rough (it’s also what I use for public transit routes and schedules)

Yeah, I debated. The community is BuyFromEU but this would also have ripple effects elsewhere so I went for it.

Esperanto is super Euro-centric, though, which can alienate people from Asia and other places. Esperanto did have something of a brief boom here in Japan, but the barrier to entry is also high since it shares no vocabulary (outside of some loans into Japanese and Korean, though some of those don’t retain the same meaning, and basically very few in Chinese from what I understand), has different grammatical structure, etc. Chinese is basically SOV like many European languages, from what I gather, but Japanese and Korean are generally SVO.

There’s also a whole high-context vs. low-context language issue.
