Hey Product Hunt! We’re Callum and Ben, founders of Infstream Infstream is a video sharing platform that allows creators to earn from their exclusive videos by charging fans $1 per month for access. Problem: Earnings from ad monetized videos is inconsistent, requires a large audience and minimum watch times before you can even apply for access. Income is highly variable, and dependent on the location of your fans, and topic & length of your uploads. - Digital creators are facing decreasing revenues from Ad based services and fight automated demonetization, and algorithmic feeds that prefer only the largest creators. - Users have to watch adverts, or begin paying for a relatively expensive monthly subscription service to watch content they may not want to. The general consensus from creators is that they are tired of existing platforms taking a large proportion of their earnings, whilst making sure content is advertiser friendly, otherwise they risk their videos being removed and subsequently, their livelihood affected. The idea: after listening to a large number of creators that had complaints towards existing video monetization platforms, we thought of a platform and model that solves all of these issues, with the top priority ensuring that creators are earning their fair share. What’s different? + Creators earn directly from their fans, with a $1 per month subscription (per channel). The price makes content accessible for all and is an easy sell to an engaged audience. + It doesn't matter how often you upload, how long your videos are, what they contain or where your subscribers are from. + Creators start earning from their first subscriber + Human support and manual video review systems make sure creators aren’t at the mercy of bots and automated systems removing their content first, and asking questions later. + Users can build their own library of influencers and YouTubers that they want to watch, adding and removing subscriptions on a pay as you go basis. + Everyone can watch public videos without signing up, links are also shareable without a subscription. Plus: Creators are instantly approved to receive payments daily through Stripe. Analytics and Earnings pages also allow them to see important channel metrics
