I know that this opinion will probably be unpopular on a blockchain-focused website, but “smart contracts” have lots of problems. They have a lot of potentials, but they have lots of downsides too. First of all, they aren’t even recognized as legal in many countries and states. Wouldn’t it harm the project?
More and more governments are starting to look at smart contracts and develop laws to recognize them. So I don’t think it’s going to be a problem in the future.

The organic advertisement you mention in your whitepaper – so true! I often notice that when one Youtuber starts to promote a certain brand everyone follows suit! Kind of weird, it spreads like wildfire.

I’m not that into Instagram or Youtube, I mostly watch video content on Twitch, mostly just for background noise. Hopefully streamers will have a place on your platform too, these guys need some support.
November 17, 2018, 10:26:35 AM
Well, if you’re able to get some talented creators involved – I’m down 
I mostly watch tech reviews on Youtube, I think some of those guys would love a chance to join the platform.

How exactly will the calculation of KPI help to determine the best vlogger for a brand? I agree that these numbers could help to settle on a proper price, but it could lead to absurd consequences, like ads for a steak house on a vegetarian channel, etc.

My guess would be that the contracts will be the same as brands make with Youtubers right now. The platform is just to simplify the process of looking for the most suitable partner.
November 17, 2018, 10:08:57 AM
Well, why not? The only thing they mention in the white paper is that the deal will be secured through the blockchain. There are no details mentioned for the contract terms for each party.

The way they word it, “a marketplace for entertainment rights” seems a bit tricky from a legal standpoint. Will the creators be selling full rights to the content they produce? Could such a deal be fast and easy to make?

True. But I agree with their white paper – vlogging is like word of mouth. If a creator you love and trust promotes something, you are much more likely to use it. I don’t think Instagram pictures can get the same level of engagement.

But video content is consumed in much higher volumes. Plus, when made well, it is much more likely to go viral and attract a bigger audience.
Exactly, when done right. It is very hard to predict whether or not your video is going to go viral. People have tried to figure it out for decades, and there is still no universal recipe for success. November 17, 2018, 09:49:57 AM

I have no idea why video content has been neglected as a major advertisement field. From what I’ve seen, text and picture posts on Facebook and Instagram are much more popular, and that has always confused me.
Well, a major reason for that is our short attention span Looking through a text post requires much less time, which means that a lot more ads can be made and promoted. November 17, 2018, 09:37:57 AM

Wow, such a civil discussion) Nice to see that there are corners of the Internet where people are able to talk without insulting each other))

While I agree that no one would admit to anything incriminating, if they were forced to provide more information a vlogger could make a more informed decision. It is not ideal, but it’s better.
November 17, 2018, 09:23:56 AM
Well, then no amount of information could help you. Do you think any company would disclose anything incriminating about themselves? If you want to learn everything about your sponsor, hire a PI or something.
November 17, 2018, 09:08:17 AM
But what if it’s all fun and games on the outside, and you won’t know something’s wrong unless there is public outrage about it? Have you heard about the Betterhelp situation?
November 17, 2018, 09:02:19 AM
So just don’t accept the payment if you don’t like the way the company handles their business. The creator does have a say in it.
November 17, 2018, 08:56:31 AM
Still, the creator should have a say in it. If the investor withholds information about their activity, there is no way to tell if there’s something shady going on.
