i suggest having a few more badges including
Some of these are clearly quality of life improvements, would help in promoting the idea of a sponsorship model wherein a user would get a badge by a content creator because they want to acknowledge the donors support. The way private tracker websites use donor badges for users who have donated to site. usually they get benefits but other than that, just a warm fuzzy feeling. I am not suggesting going all youtube on this. Gamification should not be the end result and that does not work most of the time but private trackers have shown for years that a simple donor star beside the name works. Why cant it work in peertube also?
