So what makes you better then your closest competition and who would that be?
There are two main styles of competition.
Competitor one is traditional torrent sites and the ultimate example would be thepiratebay. It's been around forever and does a great job of offering users torrents but it is not user friendly. There is no streaming functionality, you have to find a torrent client to use, you have to search for the show or movie by name, sort through various options and then download the one you want. There's no guarantee what you are downloading is real (although reviews, trusted uploaders and seed count is generally a strong indication) and you have no easy way to guarentee compatibility with the device you may be using. This situation has improved drastically in the past few years as most people have already switched over to using VLC and most torrent users are using utorrent or similar big name clients but the fact remains it is never a service that aunts and uncles and grandparents are likely to use because it involves too many steps and assumes computer literacy of its users.
Competitor two is traditional streaming sites. By that I mean sites like couchtuner, primewire of many others. Our advantage over those sites is we do not rely on specific file hosts. With these sites you will be plagued by broken or removed links, low quality mirrors and horrendously sketchy sites where you never know how many clicks it might take to 'actually get something to play'. These sites have gained millions of users because they are free and require no external software but the amount of malicious popups and frustration they provide is simply unacceptable.
By merging the advantages of both types of services and designing from the ground up with a monetization strategy that doesn't involve tricking or maliciously infecting users we look to push this project to incredible heights. Following the release of our API the financial ecosystem of the site will highly encourage those who want to extend the service into new territory to do so (automatically submitting new content for the site, porting the service to the living room with KODI and much more)
I never even knew what youtubered was until now. How come I dont see any active marketing for it? You'd think thatg google would put some money into seo or some advertising. Do you know why they aren't or are they and im just not seeing it.
It's my understanding that youtube red was pushed quite heavily around a year ago with 'premium' content being created by top channels and locked behind the subscription service. There was a large amount of user complaints and since then I've not seen it advertised by youtube since... I would assume they are revising how the system will be handled and maybe forming external partnerships to change how the service works.
The main issue users seemed to have is that there was an initial burst of content lined up for the launch but no ongoing reason to keep surbscribing so it felt very much like a gimmick.
