I upvoted this, but I regret it.
> Can we pay you to set this up for us?
> We recommend you follow our free instructions yourself. You can email us any questions and can donate if you'd like. However, if you really want us to set up everything for you it would be $250/event.
> Can you summarize how it all works?
> You’ll be creating your own Facebook Page. You can send your page’s '.com' web address to anyone you choose. During your event, you can record and post live video using your Facebook App. Anyone visiting your Facebook Page, even those without Facebook accounts, will be able to watch your videos.
So basically, "use facebook". You could replace "facebook" with "youtube" or "instagram" or other sites/social networks which support video and get the same thing. This site doesn't even have a button to click that will make it easier or pictures on how to do it -- just a bunch of text and pictures that boil down to "use facebook".
I'm starting to think it's personally ethically imperative to stop promoting sites that encourage people to use services with an active disregard for the well-being of their users/bad track records.
I really expected this was a service that made it dead simple to run OBS/video recording through an easy to use app and maybe upload that to whatever outlets.
In terms of viability in the business sense what I have said above doesn't really matter -- this might very well be a heavily used website which rakes in tons of cash and makes healthy profit. At this point to me though it just looks like preying on the weak (give your info to Facebook or pay us $250/event to give it to them) instead of empowering them (here's a tool that makes it easy for you to do the thing you want).
