Your new video platform where creativity thrives and payouts soar! Break free from YouTube's limits and embrace a platform designed by creators for creators. Enjoy higher payouts, unleash your imagination, and redefine your content journey.
👋 Hey everyone! Elliott, Co-Founder of Yivster, here. As a failed YouTuber/creator myself with my twin brother the creator journey has led my twin brother and me through setbacks, pouring our time and equity into creative pursuits. From these struggles emerged Yivster, a new path empowering video creators not just to survive but to thrive financially in a supportive community.
🏂🏾 **Our Team**
- We're two creators who intimately understand the pain points of the creator journey. Yivster was born from our passion for the creator economy, fueled by conversations with fellow creators battling strict monetization policies and creativity boundaries on major platforms.
🚀 **Yivster’s Features**
- 💰 **Monetization:** Enjoy an enticing 80/20 split for tips received—no prerequisites, just immediate earnings to boost your content game.
- 📊 **User Dashboard: ** Your hub for success. Track views, subscribers, and revenue. Customize your channel effortlessly within your User Dashboard.
-🧳 **Future Updates: **
- More monetization methods for creators such as ways of making money outside of just ads.
- Possibly playing with the idea of letting viewers(non creators) make money on the platform someway.
- Creator insights giving creators key metrics to help give creators the right analytics to grow their channels moving forward.
🗣️ **Let's Interact! **
- Your feedback fuels our growth. Whether constructive or uplifting, we're all ears for your input as we iterate and evolve.
- Reminder, It's just me and my twin in the mix, currently in Beta. So please bear with us as we look to expand in the near future. Join us on this journey!
@kingromstar We believe we can hang in there for sure. We just have to make sure we scale properly as we grow. Right now it’s pretty manageable. We plan on adding live streaming as well so that will add cost. As long as we stay healthy that’s the key, but we should be ok especially once we raising funding 😁.
@kingromstar Hey Rami, I believe as long as we focus on the main goal/features and not venture to far off feature wise with the combo of the technology out there we will be good 👍
This is very interesting! I have been in the creator field for a bit but more dipping my toes, I think this is an exciting time for creators- I think your platform has potential! A few questions- do you plan on releasing an app? - currently I see primarily Gaming based content and at least via mobile I dont see many categories, do plan you to expand that or become more centered on certain niches? - what is your copyright protection / policy for creators? Is the content meant to be exclusive to app? Very cool and good job!
@annie_chopra Hey Annie, to answer your questions1.
1. Yes, I myself started working on the mobile app and hope to finish within the next few months, which will have more features such as notifications/subscribe system etc...
2. Yes, our platform isn't tailored to a specific niche, we have just seen an influx of gaming content on our platform due to many gamers wanting to try a new platform such as ours. We have been making an effort to spread into other categories as well. As you can see, we have had gamers and vloggers starting to post which is awesome.
3. For the copyright protection policy, we are trying our best to monitor to keep not only our platform safe but our creators safe. We are also trying to work with companies to give us rights, so our creators are able to expand their content.
4. The content posted on the website will also be connected to the app, so you will be able to enjoy the content on both web and mobile.

You mentioned some pain paints and strict monetization policies as reasons for building Yivster. As someone who has no experience as a YouTube creator, it’s hard to really grasp what these pain points and restrictions mean for creators like you. And how/why they were reasons behind your lack of success on YouTube.
Would be great if you could share more details on all that.
Congrats on your launch!
@julienergan of course for example on YT you have to meet a certain requirement in order to start monetizing your content. To get monetized on YouTube, you need 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time.
On Yivster there are no requirements at the moment in order to start receiving tips any user can who uploads a video. We believe users should be able to at least have the option to earn something. That’s just one example.
Another example is the amount of competition on YT. YT of course is the biggest video platform out there so it’s tons of competition out there and can be hard to get your content discovered. That’s why on Yivster we want to build better algorithms so that everyone has a chance to appear on search results as well as the home page of our platform.
These are just a few examples.

Grats on the launch. You might want to take a look at how your videos look on different devices. On ultra-wide screen they are unwatchable, for example but looking pretty bad elsewhere too. Hint: max-height: 720px; width: 100%; object-fit: cover;...depends on what they have to fit-cover... 👀
@fabiosalvadori ok thank you so much for that it means a lot. This is something we can definitely get fixed. You should be able to definitely watch it on your laptop at the moment for sure though. 😁
Wow, this sounds amazing! As a content creator, I'm always looking for ways to break free from the limits of YouTube and explore my creativity. I'm definitely interested in learning more about your platform and how it can help me redefine my content journey.
@stylar_ai of course. At the current moment you have the ability to start earning tips on the platform through tips. Which we do a 80/20 split on. You don’t have to wait until you meet a certain watch hour or sub count.
Also, currently at the moment our homepage is constantly fetching new content everytime you go to the platform, so that increases your discoverability as well. We also would be more than happy to share you content on our social media. We’re honestly here to help. We’re still in beta but we’re constantly improving and will be adding way more creator friendly features. 😁
