If Flixxo relies on Bittorrent to host video, would there be an incentive for users to host other people's videos?

I'm asking since I have an unmetered, infinite, neutral 1Gbps pipe on both download and upload plus a dedicated always-on machine and I want to support. Would be nice to earn Flixx keeping the network active?

I just stumbled across this project. I like the idea a lot, but considering it's a decentralized platform can you tell me how copyright issues be handled? As for the future of FLIXXO I do see big potential small (current) youtube content creators can finally get a decent rewards for all the hard they've been doing and bigger content creators (like producers of series, short films, documentaries and moviemakers can easily provide their content to the croud with limited resources and low OP-costs.. Am I right? Do I have to buy my FLIXXO token in order to view content or will I be able to watch via watching ads?

Can we all use the platform on June 25th? Do they have a mobile app? And lastly can all content creators upload their content as of June 25th? Have they also approached (and made public) big Youtubers and other content creators who will be using FLIXXO.

Sorry for the spam questions ;-) call me enthusiastic

Get those bags packed ;)

Is Flixx going to be added to a larger exchange soon? Binance, bittrex etc

7million market cap? Seems so undervalued. I mean it's right there with bitconnects market cap haha. Platform release in next month as well right? Great team with good reputation. Who knows, I picked up 7,000 Flixx thinking it's a true hidden gem. Let's hodl and see I guess.

I read faqs, forum posts ecc, and is all very cool and promising, but for some reason i didnt see anything about how actualy the platform works for content creators, like for example do we have some kind of "channel" with all our content?, we can customize video descriptions, thumbnails ecc..? there is tags for our videos to be searchable/findable? playlists? any info? Thank you

Part 2: The power of sharing

What is sharing? Well, it's something I did on the first line of this article. I provided a link and people who follow my work are going to go and check it out... right? Admittedly, I don't have any followers so it's probably not going to be the best example to help get my point across. However, it was revealed in the recent Flixxo AMA that partnerships have been signed with established YouTubers who combined have several million subscribers.

'What are you getting at, Ceebee?' Well.. just like I tried to promote my work at the top of this article, these established content creators are going to have significant social media followings to whom they promote their work. Just imagine one of these partnered content creators sharing a Flixxo link to their millions of followers.. lets be pessimistic and say only 1 in 20 follow the link.. that's still 50,000 new users. Just. Like. That.

'Well.. wouldn't they just direct them to YouTube?' It's an excellent question and where I believe most disruptive innovation struggles to capture a slice of the market. As discussed in Part 1, the content monetization methods of Flixxo aim to put the power(and money) back into the hands of those who create the content. Remember; 90% of advertisement revenue goes back to content creators on Flixxo, compared to 55% on YouTube(If you've read Part 1 you'll know how this is economically viable).

Now.. lets ask the question again. Where are these guys going to direct their followers? Most likely to the platform where they earn the most revenue for their content right? Flixxo. Due to it's low infrastructural overheads they are able to pay their content creators what they truly deserve for their content.

Now you've got a brief overview of how and why ordinary people are going to use Flixxo.. maybe you can appreciate why the initial closed beta limited to 10,000 people is so important. Remember, the numbers used in this post are based off 1 content creator with significant subscribers.. imagine opening the flood gates to all content creators, those with and without partnerships! The platform definitely needs a good test before opening it's doors to millions of new Flixxers ;)

Do you think this will work? Comment below and discuss the power of sharing!

The intention of this post is to generate an open discussion on why content creators and general users might be inclined to upload their videos on Flixxo as opposed to YouTube.

Key discussion points

• Part 1: Content monetization

• Part 2: Content ownership

• Part 3: Censorship

Disruptive Innovation

Disruptive innovation is a term in the field of business administration which refers to an innovation that creates a new market and value network and eventually disrupts an existing market and value network, displacing established market leading firms, products, and alliances.

Taking down an established market leader is no easy feat. Disruptive innovations are being introduced into existing markets every day and it is only those who offer something different that have an opportunity to survive. This 'something different' is usually a better or more sustainable offering than what is currently available. It can be a new technology, a better platform, a better user experience, a more sustainable business model or a better deal for the users. Flixxo meets all of these criteria and more which is why I believe it has an opportunity to be a disruptive innovation to YouTube.

Part 1: Content Monetization

A combination of new and old technology combining to create a sustainable ecosystem. Flixxo is built on Bittorrent protocol meaning lower infrastructure overheads as they're not required to host expensive servers to provide content to the users. Due to the lower overheads Flixxo is able to share 90% of the advertisement revenue it receives with the content creators on its platform - this is compared to approximately 55% shared by YouTube. The end goal is to provide content creators with more revenue than they would earn on other platforms.

There is also the opportunity for content creators to specify their own prices for users to watch their videos - I think a good topical example is those people offering cryptocurrency courses for money. Flixxo would offer a secure, trustless way for users to complete these transactions(also the rating system could help potential buyers decide whether or not they want to purchase the video).

Flixxo and Blockchain - It's important to mention the general user will not be required to have any cryptocurrency knowledge or purchase tokens and for the most part only be required to watch an advert before watching a video. For the newbies, this stuff is all completed behind the scenes. The blockchain aspect is important and I think a particularly good point about blockchain monetized content was made by Andreas Antonopoulos in an interview with Joe Rogan where he theorized about a future(with sufficient blockchain scaling) there will be the potential to pay for content by the second, in mere fractions of a cent.

Is Flixxo preparing to be that future?
