Cinnamon

The advertising model of the internet is broken, partly because advertisers want to censor content to be appropriate for their audiences, but also because of friction in the traditional payment system making it impossible to pay anything under 50 cents. Cinnamon solves both of these problems monetizing web content and connecting creators with their audience. It's a powerful combination that will have a profound impact on an industry ripe for change.

Thank you for hunting us @therealsjr, we are thrilled to be here! I’ve been surrounded by content creators my entire life. Musicians, stand up comedians, gamers, filmmakers, YouTubers, and others, have shown me that the passion for producing arts and entertainment is not always rewarded fairly. Internet video entertainment industry is booming in content yet demonetization plagues creators everywhere. Today, there are over 50 million content creators and this number is going to double in the next couple of years. But only the top 3% of those creators can make a living out of their creativity. When I worked at Coil I had the opportunity to get a closer look at the internet of value and the altruistic vision of Web Monetization. With the latest technologies, we are able to rethink and reshape the way we understand Web Monetization, moving from an Ad dominated environment to a subscription-based one. We are now able to pay creators more than ad-based platforms. But it doesn’t end there. While we do have a platform at the base of our product, our true goal is to make a tool that helps content creators maximize their potential. With Cinnamon you can reach the audience of your audience with a click of a button. Our Shorts feature is a tool that creators and their fans can use to easily and effectively cut and share 5-15 second snippets of content on all social media platforms. This level of organic marketing allows us to take the best of both medium length and short length content, marketing content and memeing at the same time. The future will bring even more to the table. Simultaneous publishing onto several platforms, saving creators time, posts scheduling to get optimum traction, live streams, and much much more. I’d like to thank our team for all their hard work, and I am excited to see what more we can do for content creators in the upcoming years.

Cinnamon.video is a terrific space for creators to explore and experiment with their ideas. It's a perfect coming together of technological science and the expression of art.

As a content creator on Cinnamon Video I am proud to say that I never saw a platform having this level of engagement and concern for their users. Besides the Web Monetization feature, that allows all creators to be compensated, having such a great and supportive team is a breath of fresh air, I wish Cinnamon Video all the success in the world!

Finally a new approach to video monetization that brings better experience to users and creators. And receiving real-time payments from viewers of my videos is simply amazing! Exciting times!

Thanks again for the hunt @therealsjr. Just like Rob aka @unipolar I’m really proud of what our streamlined team has achieved so far – and excited about the things we’re building as I write this. Among others: * Plan your video releases on other platforms like YouTube and Facebook * Schedule automated releases for the right date and time * Download your YouTube library and publish it on Cinnamon directly And the roadmap looks equally interesting: * Livestream * Video effects when creating Shorts * Creator tipping * … We welcome and appreciate your feedback. Thanks everyone!

Exciting times!
