How do I discover content without paying? If I have to subscribe to watch then it seems I won’t be spending time browsing around watching content like YouTube. Can the creator choose to publish free videos?
IMO YouTube has massive audience and watch time because it’s free to watch.
- 0x62 7y agoHi Alex! Channels can set a full-length public intro video, displayed on their homepage. Each video also has the option of a free preview at the beginning, or can be made completely public. We're not seeing this as a replacement (yet!), just another option for content creators to monetize. Some sell merch, but that requires dealing with physical products and areas they're not familiar. Infstream allows them to easily charge for behind-the-scenes/directors cut/mini series. We're not expecting users to browse in the same way as YouTube initially, rather come to a specific channel directly from that creators social media.
