problem with aggregators (google/Facebook) is three fold.
Yes, you bring your content to them, but you also give your competitor all your data. And you pay them to do this buy giving them 30%+ off the top. I dont think these huge cuts are sustainable business models long term, and content creators will seek to 'start their own platforms'.
Lastly is censorship. You say corona virus or marijuana in your youtube video and you just lost your business in some cases. who wants to have a business like that? content providers bring their hard work to youtube and have a gun to their heads the entire time.
- geodel 6y agoHuh, companies like Disney would anyway heavily self-censor the content they produce. I mean it is Disney's prerogative to produce cliched pap most of the time. To think Big media's content will be censored by aggregators, however, is hilarious.
- autokad 6y agoyou are not listening. I specifically called out Google and Facebook. it doesn't matter what Disney does. The top tech 'aggregators' huge cut makes it impossible to run a business long term because you are losing 30% off the top line and giving up all the data (often not even being able to see what your own users are doing). so DIS can kick you in the jewels and it doesn't matter, because in the long run the likes of Google destroys its content creators. As content providers get successful, they either move to another platform or go the DIS route - start their own. The fact that patrion had to exist for content producers to justify their existence is a shame on google.
