It is a good platform to distribute videos. You place a paywall of any amount and receive the payments directly. Nobody else earns from your work. Later it should be possible to share the paywall profit. If someone then uses your works, you receive a part of his income. It is also possible to send requests to a world map. This allows you to request specific content. If it concerns complex recordings, you can collect money for the content also from several persons.
I've had to watch your video 3 times to completely get what this app is all about.
There are a couple of things that I don't get at all from a logical point of view. Why would any user request footage from an X location from a Y user on your platform? What's the value in that? What are you guys making easy? What is it that this platform offers what other services cant? Copyright protection certainly is not a unique feature, many other platforms do this. I also don't see how a blockchain would be of any help at all, creative work whether it be videos, photos or audio could easily be stolen from its owner so I fail to see the value of that.
I think the makers of this product have assumed too much and also are trying to do too many things at the same time.
- Nothing is stopping any bad actor from stealing someone IP, not on your app, not on any website, with our without a blockchain or any advanced kind of copyright software that you may be implemented, if you guys are, you'd be the first in history.
- The mechanism is where creative people get paid can only work in your ecosystem, isn't that a problem when you haven't reached and X amount of supply of consumers to be financially viable to your creators? Why should creator X who is on Youtube (and Instagram and Twitter and Snapchat) who makes a living should feel obligated to participate in your platform? Youtube has more scale, more tools for creatives, I assume pays more than you do. Once again, failing to see how blockchain works in this scenario. Are the makers assuming that content creators even care about this to a level in which they would consider using this platform? I don't know.
- This platform tries to be Youtube, Yelp, Snapchat, Netflix and Spotify at the same time. Historically, startups and platforms that try to do too many things at the same time will burn down to the ground because of a lack of focus, companies that go hyper-niche are much more prone to success because of their 'do-one-thing-very-good' mentality (Instagram, WhatsApp, and Snapchat even (in their early days) for example). The odds of being the best at one particular thing are already low, and the odds of being great at two or more are even more minuscule.
Again, what is it that you guys give in terms of value that all the companies that you are trying to compete with don't... and if blockchain is all you have than I strongly advise to pivot right away, it's that, or it's going into obliteration, historically speaking.
I wish the founders the best and I wish them all the success!
