Topic: [ANN] Viewly ∙ A tokenized video platform - page 11. (Read 7432 times)

Public presale will begin on February 20

When is the beginning of the pre-sale? and are there any bonuses for the first investors?

Viewly features include:
creators can be supported by their audience directly,
no need to obsessively track the audience,
no need to manipulate how the audience consumes the content;
ad free.

I understand correctly that Viewly is aimed to exclude fraud and deception among companies buying advertising and content-makers?

I do not think that they will have to compete, people will choose the best and it will be Viewly

Hi, do not forget to make applications for mobile devices!

An interesting question, youtube is a huge corporation, how do you plan to compete?

Do you think that you can lure the whole audience from youtube to you?

I do not quite understand how this will work, but the idea is interesting!

Me and TudorOzy are both the community managers for Viewly. The dev team is really busy working on the product and if you have a specific question for them it will be our pleasure to re-direct it to them and give you an answer as soon as we get one!

Are you the representative of Viewly? Or are you from the development team?

Regarding your first question : Of course our goal is to make it intuitive and user friendly. User experience and user interface are a really important part of the ecosystem and adoption, that is on the list

Regarding your second question: I can't comment on profitability . Everyone is at different stages I say continue to do what you do best on the platform that you are currently at where your subscribers and followers are and also try the Viewly Demo and the platform.

Pretty thoughtful system. But in my opinion it's very complicated ... Will there be an intuitive interface? Will it be more profitable for people to work with you, but not with YouTube?

We will likely establish several distributed and open access systems to aid with decision making  rankings and user experience. The idea is that all the participants should have the best possible information at all times which includes, but is not limited to, results of PoA ( proof of availability )  challenges, video demand statistics, copyright and content id tags and basic telemetry.


If a material is found by the community copyrighted or not family friendly it will recieve a tag and the hosting node would not want to host copyrighted material, the uploader and the hosting node ( if he continues to host the content ) would recieve a flag.


There will be an order book held and a real time bidding between content creators and hosting providers. Each video will be stored on at least three distinct nodes to ensure the video is not lost. Each content creator will likely receive personalized offers from potential hosting providers, primarily influenced by popularity and risk profiles. To make this process easier, as well as to aid in matching the particular content creators with the optimal hosting providers, we should aggregate additional information based on usage of the Viewly app, such as viewership statistics (timing and frequency of views, average per-country aggregates) and the risk profiles (content id tags, copyright flags, and/or other disputes).


The price of storage will only be a small proportion of earnings for popular content providers, a small price to pay for storing videos with high intrinsic/emotional value and  too expensive for low quality content and/or spam, ultimately eliminating the surplus of unpopular and/or spam videos.



The selected host will issue a bond (e.g. 20% of the annual hosting price) as a collateral for actually storing the file. If the hosting node fails a Proof of Storage (PoS) or Proof of Availability (PoA) challenges, they will lose the bond and and the offer to host this video will re-enter the marketplace.
In the event where content is purposefully discarded, both the bond and remaining funds in the contract are burned. The hosting provider forgoes the bond for the sake of aversion of potential legal liability, and the original uploader loses the remaining funds in the hosting contract. The hosting provider also suffers a small loss in their reputation score.

Of course nobody would stop you to spin up any kind of website based on the infrastructure and host your own materials but you would do so at your own risk.

I hope that censorship will be as short as possible.

I think most videos will be monitored by moderators. Or the most popular video. Then it will be easy to find forbidden content.

The project is developed for creative people. They don't need to make money on advertising, it's not important to get a bunch of subscribers. Here people will spread what they like. Share what they like to do. Wide functionality for this is not necessary.

An interesting project, but it seems to me that the functionality is rather narrow. I hope that in the future it will be expanded ...

Yes it is that is why I called it a snippet of information because it's very condensed . The whitepaper has a lot more information available and you can really see the vision taking form : https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf

Livestreaming is not in our near future goals, let's make the first part work very good, which is hosting pre-recorded videos.
As the technology progresses adding livestream might be an options, but that is for the developers to decide when that option is stable and reliable.
As you know livestreaming it's a bit troublesome even with centralised servers give that many places don't have enough bandwidth to support a good experience.
Also Livepeer positions itself as an infrastructure provider not as a video sharing platform.


Currently the Alpha works on IPFS and that works well for now, of course if you look at the whitepaper https://view.ly/downloads/whitepaper.pdf you will notice that the end goal is using hosting nodes capable enough to do the work necessary ( resources and bandwidth ) and introduce them into a marketplace from where the uploaders can choose a hosting node of their preference at a minimal cost.



The way I see it is yes, a lot of content creators depend on the ad revenue but clearly that isn't enough because you also need ad placement for example ( introducing a product from a sponsor in your video ) to make at least a decent living.

Last I have read the average content creator makes about $1/1000 views if he is lucky and his video is not put side and demonitized because it's not "advertiser friendly"

In my personal optinion, if we take a good look an average of $1/1000 views is not a lot, if only 10 people would put $0.10 ( through likes, comments, sponsorships, patronage style, etc ) ( 0.10% ) said content creator would make at least the same amount as they would have adverts on.
