Brighteon Update:
As we've all seen over the last few days, YouTube and the tech tyrants are purging all influential conservative voices in the run-up to the 2020 elections. This is blatant election rigging and a malicious violation of free speech rights across America.
Many of the banned people are shifting to alternative platforms like Brighteon. Stefan Molyneux, for example, has joined Brighteon and posted this video discussing him being banned by YouTube.
We welcome all voices of courage, reason and enlightenment to the Brighteon platform. This is why Brighteon is also being targeted by Big Tech and is getting blacklisted by Facebook and Twitter. The tech giants are at war with humanity, and they are silencing all voices of dissent.
Note that we are committed to protecting your freedom to speak, and we will not bow down to the censorship demands of Big Tech. They want us to censor our own users on "sensitive" topics like vaccines or Black Lives Matter, but we refuse. While we do have some commonsense limits on content, we will never discriminate against users based on their viewpoints. You can post your videos onto Brighteon with confidence.
And stop self-censoring, by the way. On Brighteon, you can say all the "banned" words like Epstein, Covid, false flag, etc. You don't have to be your own speech police like is required on YouTube. And Michelle Obama is a dude (maybe, who knows, but you're free to discuss it on Brighteon...)
New infrastructure improvements and token donations coming to Brighteon
We are right now in the process of making a huge improvement in our underlying infrastructure to further insulate Brighteon from upstream censorship as well as corrupt U.S. courts. Without divulging the details here, very soon Brighteon will be extremely well insulated from attempts to shut us down or censor our content. We've already survived many sustained DDoS attacks and hacking attempts, and we're still here.
Perhaps even more excitedly, we are also developing a superchat-like feature that allows users to reward you with tokens which can be cashed in for actual payment. Our token system will allow users to purchase tokens (including through Bitcoin), after which they can "tip" the videos they like with those tokens. You will actually be earning tokens on all your videos, not just live video streams (which is a feature we don't offer yet).
Thus, for the first time, Brighteon will soon have a revenue model for all content creators.
This means posting your content to Brighteon today will help you have more videos in place once the token donation system is rolled out.
Brighteon will keep 25 percent of the token donations as our cut in an effort to maybe one day break even in terms of operating costs. You will get 75 percent. (Yes, at the moment, Brighteon is still burning cash, but that may change here in a couple of months...)
We thank you for your support of Brighteon.com. Keep posting and we'll keep building. It's going to keep getting stronger and more resilient with each passing month. And with communist China buying up all the tech companies these days, Brighteon might soon be the only video alternative remaining that's run by patriotic, pro-First Amendment Americans who stand up for your human rights.
Thank you,
