There is going to be a huge push for invite-only creator-centric platforms like LinusTechTips' Float Plane. YouTube should have developed something like this instead of YouTube Red ages ago.
- johnnydoe9 10y agoYeah Float Plane Club is already working and they're trying to make a proper website and have some friends partner with them. Youtube made a tip jar where people (from a select list of countries) could tip a creator whatever they liked but they scrapped it before ever making the feature international.
- geppeto 10y agoyou make it sound like they have a chance
- jszymborski 10y agoThere is no lose scenario for LTT re:Float Plane, just a less monumental one. They've released early-access subscription-based material before through the defunct Vessel platform (which exited successfully via buy-out). Now they're building that platform themselves for their audience. Whether they can expand it successfully to other creators is another question, but I see no reason why they wouldn't...
- SadWebDeveloper 10y agoEveryone hopes they do well but that project its going to crash and burn big time or stay as another patreon, because what makes YouTube great is the huge device compatibility it already has with several platforms, i can't be the only one watching YouTube on my TV rather than my smartphone, tablet or PC.
- mangodrunk 10y agoI exclusively watch it on my TV. I find it funny when they will talk about information at the bottom, or click the links on the video which assumes a less passive device than the TV. I've been subscribed to You Tube Red for quite some time now as well.
