when the tool is new, this is a problem that could torpedo it.

2018-05-24 15:31:34 UTC  

true

2018-05-24 15:31:36 UTC  

what use is a tool that can't upload to the biggest game in town still

they wont want to help competition 😛

2018-05-24 15:32:13 UTC  

now, once it gets going, the reverse will be true. because if the tool makes life easy enough for content creators, then anything not on it, they just won't upload

2018-05-24 15:32:43 UTC  

"why spend time uploading to youtube when i could upload to 3 other video share sits without any more effort,a nd probably get the same amouint of views"

2018-05-24 15:33:18 UTC  

so if most creators use the tool, any new or existing site will want to make themselves compatible so they can get in on the action.

2018-05-24 15:33:37 UTC  

but, you need to get it to that level of popularity.

2018-05-24 15:33:44 UTC  

well if it gets going, it will shrink the monopoly, since people can then use any site they prefer,

Which will then create competition because different sites will then have exclusives on their site, so people get to spread out again

2018-05-24 15:34:50 UTC  

true, but they wouldn't want to cut themselves off from a popular way of getting content. instead they will probably strike deals with creators. and thats fine

2018-05-24 15:35:04 UTC  

you guys are missing a lot of points on that idea

2018-05-24 15:35:18 UTC  

by all means, poke holes

2018-05-24 15:35:18 UTC  

videos without the community aren't worth much

2018-05-24 15:35:32 UTC  

how would you handle the comments, likes, etc?

2018-05-24 15:35:52 UTC  

its an upload tool, the videos will stay on the site

2018-05-24 15:35:52 UTC  

in theory, can add that into the tool

2018-05-24 15:35:58 UTC  

or that

2018-05-24 15:36:01 UTC  

if there's a content ID on one site, would you remove the video from everywhere and reupload?

2018-05-24 15:36:22 UTC  

what do you mean by that?

2018-05-24 15:36:48 UTC  

I mean, your video gets claimed on youtube

2018-05-24 15:36:52 UTC  

also, the comments would probably stay local to the video (i.e. on the host site) but can be made visible from one location for the content maker

2018-05-24 15:36:57 UTC  

would you change the video and reupload only to youtube?

2018-05-24 15:37:23 UTC  

well, you should always allowed customization.

2018-05-24 15:37:48 UTC  

so, say maybe you have several sites, but the video you made doesn't work with ToS of a few of them.

2018-05-24 15:37:58 UTC  

checkmark button for which sites you want to upload to at that time 😄

2018-05-24 15:38:14 UTC  

you wouldn't want to upload. to those sites. so this is always a possibility of individual upload.

2018-05-24 15:38:15 UTC  

uncheck those that don't need a re-upload

2018-05-24 15:38:52 UTC  

you can make an ID for the video internal to the tool, so it can keep track of all the different copies

2018-05-24 15:39:31 UTC  

need to reupload or edit? select which sites to do that for, and have the logic for the best method for those sites built into the tool

2018-05-24 15:39:51 UTC  

you do understand the lower value of having the community segregated across multiple sites, right?

2018-05-24 15:40:17 UTC  

they already are on different sites

2018-05-24 15:40:40 UTC  

most area already on youtube and twitter

2018-05-24 15:40:51 UTC  

I only use youtube, I would risk and say 90%+ of people are also there

2018-05-24 15:41:16 UTC  

true, but its never a good idea to only have 1 site

2018-05-24 15:41:18 UTC  

anything outside of youtube is irrelevant

2018-05-24 15:42:08 UTC  

it doesn't matter if 90% of the traffic comes from one site. because if that site changes, that 90% could go away. if you have a back up, then you stand a good chance to get back that lost crowd

2018-05-24 15:42:13 UTC  

that is the problem this is aiming at

2018-05-24 15:42:54 UTC  

there's no platform that will be able to compete with youtube in the near future

2018-05-24 15:43:04 UTC  

no matter what tool you make, that won't change
