I don't necessarily agree.
People who are "self employed" as "content creators" like OF but also twitch, youtube, patreon etc, rely on these centralized platforms in order to ensure their revenue stream into the future. They don't have to solely but often do just store most of their content on these platforms servers so they can have their past and future both rugged from them if they are banned.
These platforms have terms of services that are constantly moving the goal posts over time. One day, what they do might not be considered acceptable on their platform and then their tie to their revenue stream has been severed by a central authority.
Furthermore, I'm sure these platforms all take at least a little slice of every single pie, records and reports every cent you earn, and Lightning offers a whole other level of microtransactions that would change the game from mostly subscriptions to mostly pay per use... also haven't even mentioned privacy yet.
A lightning based OF/twitch/youtube could be beneficial for the content creator who sees a benefit in owning their own content, saving on platform fees, reducing chargebacks, conducting their business more privately, securing their future revenue stream etc.
It all just has to be designed top notch, which is a big ask.
