What do I think about 3speak?

What I like:
-Quality of videos seems perfect
-Pretty smooth overall experience with using the platform
-Storing my videos permanently (unlike Dtube who deletes them eventually).
-No censorship.

What I don't like
Actually, there's only one thing I don't like but sadly it is enough that I don't use it for my own videos:
Unlike you, I really don't like the business model. That goes both for personal usage and my vision of seeing this becoming mainstream. The fact I have to pay to put up videos is not something I am willing to do. Mostly because it also blocks my vision of seeing how this would ever become mainstream. I know the price is small but it is still a blockade and it WILL be for many others.

For example I put up maybe 2-5 videos a year, why would I pay for that when I have a perfectly fine platform such as youtube? (man I am going to get hate for saying that). If 3speak wants to draw in costumers then I feel like they need to make it free to also become a content creator on their platform.

Now, I know server hosting and all that maintenance is not free. But sadly most people don't care about this when they can see it is free in other places. I would be much happier that 3speak if this was changed into either:

A: Took a 3% cut on all videos (that would be fitting for the name)
or
B: Implemented adds, adds never hurt anybody and I think it is THE best way to keep the internet free, this includes 3speak.

This is just my 3cents(see what I did there?) looking from a consumer and content creators' perspective.

Really, I would much more prefer to use 3speak but right now I am not completely sold and that is shown through my actions that I, in fact, prefer to use youtube. Hopefully, that will change in the future.
