Thanks for your response and considering using our platform.  Now you can imagine how impossible it would be to use one of the other players in this space like Vimeo OTT or Uscreen, where your cost to just have the basics of the platform with branded apps (like we are offering) is $30,000\u002D$50,000 per year!  And yet... people are doing it and making money over there.  The barrier to entry is super high and our product lowers it dramatically...but its still a business and you need a lot of components to make it work.  Our software alone won\u0027t solve all problems, but we hope it enables a lot of folks to get into the game.  Cheers.

I think if I was like a short film producer or something like this I would get this. But you can just pop all that on YouTube. People can catch you on YouTube in smart TV\u0027s and any device now days. Having a channel on one of these platforms is really just vanity at this point. Plus I would not price a channel anything higher than 5 per month if I wanted subscribers, I\u0027d make it free if possible.
