so get ready to choose between Google and the Zucc

2018-07-20 04:07:21 UTC  

I'm not sure I like the idea of trading one master for another...

2018-07-20 04:07:31 UTC  

welcome to reality

2018-07-20 04:07:46 UTC  

But when I think of mainstreaming BitChute, I mean, could we get Pew De Pie to post there?

2018-07-20 04:08:01 UTC  

Just start putting gameplay videos on there and link there on gaming forums?

2018-07-20 04:08:17 UTC  

upload the stuff that people actually go to Youtube for beyond politics?

2018-07-20 04:09:40 UTC  

Should tell anyone that will listen to post mirror

2018-07-20 04:09:53 UTC  

Then people who care can use it when watching and sharing

2018-07-20 04:10:03 UTC  

I feel like it would be a start.

2018-07-20 04:10:22 UTC  

It's kinda like Voat. If it's just a bunch of guys who no one really wanted to see anyway, it'll only ever languish.

2018-07-20 04:11:02 UTC  

It really is the content makers that make the platform

2018-07-20 04:11:11 UTC  

Agreed.

2018-07-20 04:11:18 UTC  

And the Content.

2018-07-20 04:14:39 UTC  

Looks like Bitchute doesn;t have ads though

2018-07-20 04:15:51 UTC  

It does have a few paid options

2018-07-20 04:16:09 UTC  

Totally optional but still

2018-07-20 04:17:13 UTC  

@pratel the site doesn't support it. What I do is I just boot up the video I want to load up on to bitchute with vlc and take a snapshot from there to upload.

2018-07-20 04:17:52 UTC  

It's not something we could do on our end. It would be one of those "1 day" changes on the developer end.

2018-07-20 04:18:01 UTC  

Something to message the developers as a feature request.

2018-07-20 04:18:21 UTC  

When you develop this stuff it's easy to miss those minor inconveniences.

2018-07-20 04:18:56 UTC  

You get really worried about things just working so you avoid extra special cases. But at some point you hit a point where you can send an intern after a minor thing and it makes a big difference to the user experience.

2018-07-20 04:21:20 UTC  

one way to help populate bitchute with content is to advertise it to streamers, who all use one of those multistream services like restream. they could use it to safely archive their content maybe.

2018-07-20 04:21:36 UTC  

partner with one of those services

2018-07-20 04:21:43 UTC  

I kinda like that. Just drop hints to streamers.

2018-07-20 04:24:43 UTC  

the main thing is that it would need to be seamless

2018-07-20 04:24:55 UTC  

What would be the cost benefit of content creators switching though?

2018-07-20 04:25:12 UTC  

Backup.

2018-07-20 04:25:22 UTC  

That seems like a good question for Tim actually.

2018-07-20 04:25:43 UTC  

BitChute promises not to do adpocalypse.

2018-07-20 04:26:58 UTC  

Content creators like ads, otherwise they would turn monetization off

2018-07-20 04:28:09 UTC  

Yeah, that's going to ultimately be the challenge.

2018-07-20 04:28:17 UTC  

I guess I see an ad on this video though

2018-07-20 04:28:41 UTC  

When the big ad services decide to get picky.

2018-07-20 04:29:33 UTC  

Bitchute would have to figure out ads beyond adsense

2018-07-20 04:30:17 UTC  

I think YT can give a bigger chunk to YTrs because it doesn't have to share ad revenue with anyone else

2018-07-20 04:30:43 UTC  

Google is always going to take things off the top.

2018-07-20 04:30:50 UTC  

Google's main advantage is connections.

2018-07-20 04:30:57 UTC  

And they will always skim.

2018-07-20 04:31:25 UTC  

YT is Google though so they are the only ones taking any beyond YTrs

2018-07-20 04:31:56 UTC  

Course idk if Bitchute takes any cut on ad revenue on their platform

2018-07-20 04:32:19 UTC  

So could still be just Google and CC
