who has been the most screwed over by youtube?

let me think

yes but thats actually good because they have a platform to get money and they can provide content to their subscribers on any platform they like

it makes them less platform-dependent

that has something to do with what Floatplane does

yeah but the thing is, how would the patreon donors feel about it. I dont know, I'm not thinking straight atm, I cant really articulate what I'm trying to say.

if you wanted to start *stupid* tiny, contract a creator to make you one exclusive video, get the web ui all coded up, and host it. make sure theyre popular and you can get them to plug it on their YT vids. and just make sure theyre super popular. the idea is a bit of a stretch, but so is anything

oh idk. are patreon users devoted to youtube?

make lots of lists of problems

No that's not what i'm saying, just that if the creator goes to a paid subscription model would the patreons stick around? and would they need to pay for the subscription on top of patreon? that sort of thing

Also the creator would need to have some form of exclusivity to the new site.

If they stay with youtube also, they would need to have a decent upload delay to get people to spring for the subscription

yeah thats a lot to work on. you really want the ad revenue so consumers dont have to pay

thats why i say make creators pay hosting, because theyre the ones trying to make money

charging the consumer 5$ a month is okay, but im not paying 60/yr just to watch milo

you would have to really get into the numbers to figure out the optimal pricing for everything .

yeah. lots of study

what is the end goal of the platform, summarized?

white people let their kids sell lemonade on the most traffic-suffocated roads of this town

A way for creators to make money without censorship, and a way for viewers to see the content they want.

or something along those lines

is an open platform a must, anyone can post video?

I dont think so

consider not having it open

I dont think that would work with something like this

call it **DarkTube** or something

I'm thinking something like that conservative network, I forgot what it was called

crowder is a part of it

i dont follow any conservative media 😄

but make it even bigger and cheaper

CRTV?

yeah that

yee, not my cuppa tea

You would need pretty big numbers though

to make and keep the subscription fee low

ideally your branding is politically neutral

for sure, I'm was just using that as an example of what it be like, but instead of just a few channels it would hundreds or thousands

youll already be stigmatized as NaziTube or someth

but of course you should start with something small like they have

but yeah it would be apolitical
