I have not had the opportunity to use 3speak from a content creator perspective, yet. However, as a user I can list some pros and cons that I've found about the platform.
Pros
- Free speech. This is very important these days with big tech censorship.
- A new token. Another incentive to utilize the platform
- A different revenue model. This is also a negative which I'll explain below.
- Haven't ran into any errors with playback.
- The citizen journalist idea. I love that, and I'm hoping I can become apart of it sometime soon as I now have the equipment.
Cons
- Revenue model. Will explain more below.
- Interface/design is lacking a bit. Kind of ugly, but it works.
- Very competitive market.
As for the revenue mode, I do not like how the burden is on the creators to pay monthly. Perhaps a flat yearly fee would make more sense and be more attractive to those who don't post as much video content. A tiered system would work for that as well, but I think that would be even less attractive than a one price for all. Perhaps beneficiary rewards up to X amount would be a good idea as well.
The interface could also use a facelift, no offense. But, as I said this is a very competitive market. You are competing with the centralized solutions like YouTube, Vimeo, etc. you also have services like dTube, dLive, and others on the decentralized end. A simple but attractive design is very important. UX/UI is a big deal. It also plays into marketing the product.
But, you guys are doing great so far. I can't wait to see how the platform develops in time. Keep it up! @wehmoen
