Hopefully, for the consumer it would be no different than YouTube or Netflix. Unless you don't want ads, then you pay your dues.

I have no idea how the experience would vary for the advertisers.

For the producer it should offer more flexibility in how they get paid. This is the major selling point I think. The ability to put out a high effort video -- say you made a full length movie -- and be able to charge theater prices (17.50USD, or close to it) and make sure the ads hit at the appropriate times? It might be worth it for larger creators to swap over.




Wow, as a consumer I am really sold on this model! You tell me I will pay theater prices and get ad interruptions throughout the show? This is fantastic, sign me up. /s


I apologize. I guess I miscommunicated something. I mean that a creator can opt to charge what they want and also turn off ads if they choose. Or front load the ads, like theaters do. Really, it is up to the creator how they want to format their content.


haha this is what im thinking, where is the incentive to actually use it.
