vox is a libertarian platform based on the Motion Freedom principles. However these principles are bound to common sense and should be made secondary if people end up starving to death. That's why we're not against advertisement per say, as long as it's done reasonably.
The biggest gripe one could have about streaming platforms is not the fact that advertisement is present but mandatory, meaning that these applications or websites deliberatly work against your best interests as a user.
Here is a few idea on how people can make money by producing VBML content on the vox platform:
- A patreon page linked via a VideoTag (or in the description).
- Affiliated links accessed via a VideoTag (or in the description).
- An advertisement video slice placed inside a VBML multi-track.
- A commercial product placement in the middle of your video content.
- A VideoTag that links to premium content behind a paywall on your own website.
- An interactive video shop that lets you video click on items that you want to purchase.
- An interactive movie that lets you purchase the extended version at the end.
- A high resolution downloadable version of your interactive content behind a paywall.
Given the nature of the VBML, it's very easy for a content creator to inject a pre-roll or a mid-rool of any kind, just refer to our documentation about tracks. However we let you deal with the hosting and traffic measurements of these video slices.
The vox platform enforces curation, if something goes against our values we might end up notifying you and possibly pulling specific content down. However, you retain final control over your content and its hosting given the technology surrounding VBML and Semantic Player(s) is entirely open. Even this very platform could be forked and hosted under your conditions.
You should know our software will never force users to do something against their will, if one wants to skip or avoid a video chunk he shall retain the power to do so.
