"Social security? Why is that even involved in this conversation about a video platform?" - I am hoping that you will see that money does not grow on trees.

The term "currency" (like electricity, or the current of a river in nature) was chosen for a reason. Something gives that currency its value and momentum. Water does not flow uphill, so if that currency experiences an opposing force such as nature, or, nobody left who is interested in giving you "perpetual passive income", then your income will stop. Full stop.

"Where does all money come from? Someone makes it up and we all agree on it's value." - Someone like a central bank? I hope not. Value in a free-market is derived from demand, so you are partly correct when you said "we all agree on it's value". (minus your punctuation error of course)

You still have not answered my questions however regarding Odysee's 5 (or 50 Million) users scenario...

Where will your perpetual passive income come from?

If you "own" a Doctorate in "the music business", that is no guarantee that "you get paid for those things forever". Hence, not "perpetual".

Nothing is forever.
Nature and all things move in cycles.
