Most of video content creators would love to get paid for their content. However, there are large corporations and middleman platforms skimming off the top. The ideal employment would be when the person could be paid for what he/she normally does for free. And getting paid for something you do for fun is a totally new level of employment. What would say about reaching that goal at almost no cost?
That is possible through creating a decentralized blockchain-based platform which would enable users and video content creators to use it directly and get profit without any third parties being involved in the process. And the advertisers would pay directly to the content creators. Everyone including consumers could get their profit from what they love doing most of all, creating video content and watching videos.
Such social video platforms, created for people and run by people, already exist. One of them is called Viewly. The platform makes it possible to monetize content along with promoting creators of video content. The platform is created with respect to users’ privacy, thus, it doesn’t contain annoying ads. There is a direct interaction between creators and fans. Different creators having their small, medium, or large audience are able to maintain themselves via modern ways of monetization, including a combination of smooth micro-payments, sponsored advertising companies and commerce, and fan protection. The businesses have a chance to improve the efficiency of advertising and reduce its costs through skipping large intermediaries and supporting creators directly.
There are plenty of other decentralized video platforms on the market today. Most of them have a similar policy and working principles, use blockchain and P2P technologies. Such a platform, as CinemaWell, for example, offers a possibility to watch movies only. So you can’t find any entertaining videos on it, just your favorite movies. However, that’s a perfect platform for filmmakers first of all, while they have a chance to premiere their creations, and set the ticket prices. Viewers get ApplauseCash on that platform, and they can use it for buying tickets. Another decentralized video platform SteemQ for Steem represents a better version of Youtube, and everyone is rewarded, including creators, consumers, and curators. All the videos are ranked and the profit directly depends on the rank of the video and its creator. The same working principles have such platforms, as BuzzShow and Decent.
Another decentralized video sharing platform named Viuly is based on Ethereum blockchain smart contracts. The authors can be rewarded thanks to users’ donations and support. The users are also rewarded for watching and sharing the videos. The VIU tokens allow users buying premium content.
Viewly is a new technology combination, including peer-to-peer sharing of data, the technology of blockchain and smart contracts. The platform makes it possible to support all the creators, regardless of their audiences’ size. There is a system of vote-based tipping, business-sponsored advertising campaigns, maintaining recurring payments, and much more. One of the platform advantages is that it doesn’t demonetize by taking just a symbolic cut from creators’ earnings. Another big benefit is that Viewly doesn’t serve ads. They strive to render ads-free content to their users.
Public presale of Viewly tokens starts on the 20th of February. 22nd of February is the date of the beginning of the Public token sale. The price of 1 token is $0.45. The currencies accepted are BTC, ETH, and EOS.
