The problem with Floatplane is that new creators who have ideas and skills but aren’t publishing elsewhere online (e.g., because they dislike the ad-driven model and don’t want their videos to appear alongside junk content) have nothing in terms of online optics that they could put into the application form—so they’d have to either support the likes of YouTube first by publishing there, or be capable of running their own site. I wish Floatplane charged a moderate fee upfront rather than having the vetting/review flow (which could still be an option for those who can’t afford the fee).
- t0astbread 6y agoVimeo (if I'm not mistaken) offers a plan where you pay them to host your videos and they don't roll any ads on them.
- strogonoff 6y agoThat’d be a great feature compared to the majority of platforms. The big question would be whether they force recommendations from other channels elsewhere on the page or at the end of a video.
