Where can I archive my past video content? (and get paid hopefully)

enu, 10 months ago

Both rumble and vimeo will work as alternatives. Rumble has been easier to use for me, but I’d check them both out for sure.

It looks like it’s currently out of my price bracket. I guess I need to grind more on getting more subscribers before I can have a budget to spend on a platform for archival purposes.

Rumble is free to upload videos to. I haven’t uploaded to Vimeo in a while, so I’m not as sure on that one. I believe the paid tiers for Rumble are just for commercial accounts to use to display videos with no ads and they also unlock streaming.

Try Nebula nebula.tv

Thanks for the suggestion but I’m currently underemployed and this cost is more than I can afford at this current point in my life. Any monthly costs to me ultimately need to be offset by subscription revenue and i just don’t have a large enough of a base on twitch to cover this cost yet.

Ah, my bad. Looks like it’s invite-only for creators reddit.com/…/how_to_become_a_nebula_contributorcr…(Sorry for the Reddit link)

I checked because it seemed odd to me that they would charge creators

Just as a nitpick. I assume you meant foul?

qisope, 10 months ago

no, it tasted like chicken

palitu, 10 months ago

REALLY tasted like chicken

FuglyDuck, 10 months ago

I thought everybody liked fried chicken?

Motecuhzoma, 10 months ago

Nah, they just hate the taste of birds

shades, 10 months ago

The fowl was foul duck.

None. YouTube is still the best for uploading anything and being able to monetize it with ads.

Maybe consider selling it as stock footage?

shades, 10 months ago

I didn’t know that was a thing. Where can I look for potential clients to purchase said stock footage?

I spun up my own PeerTube instance for me and my family to archive our videos so that I’d be in control of file sieze upload, etc… But I’m not monetizing anything.

To be clear, you’re looking for someone to both cover the costs of hosting your videos and serving them to the world, and pay you?

OP: yes.

😂

TV must be very strange to you

fubo, 10 months ago

TV stations don’t just volunteer to put your home videos on the air.

Well, not usually.

fluxion, 10 months ago

All these platforms have business models. Some sell ads, some take a cut of subscriptions/rentals. They’re just asking for a decent alternative to relying on YouTube, and didn’t even state that monetization was a hard requirement. Would think Lemmy users would welcome the opportunity to reduce reliance on a single giant megacorporation for basic video hosting.

Zeroxxx, 10 months ago

Becuase there is, honestly, zero alternative to getting profit on top of demanding requests that OP posted.

Had he not requested profit there could have been decent alternative at worst.

shades, 10 months ago

Monitization isn’t a ‘hard requirement’, just a very icing on the cake. The content is really for others’ enjoyment. I don’t need to be recording said content. I was asked by someone, “Do you record/stream this? People would be interested in watching!” and at that point I wasn’t recording but I decided to start. I’m currently just hovering around 123 interested individuals and/or botnet operators following me. Monitization doesn’t have to be through the video being viewed on said hosted platform, any donations into my wallet address or PayPal address (which I’m trying to figure out how to set up to receive funds while not doxing me)

I don’t watch TV or movies anymore. The last film I remember watching, I was in a military PAX (PAssenger Transport) terminal awaiting a bird to take this princess to another castle, and some troll thought it’d be a good idea to leave the movie, “Black Hawk Down” playing for everyone waiting for their bird to touch down. It wasn’t looking good for the protagonists and I had to leave before the movie was over. I then later experienced extreme turbulence due to a sandstorm and we had to make an unscheduled landing (luckily at somewhere I also had equipment to service) but during the whole ordeal I thought I was going to die. I then made the realization that watching TV/Movies just raises my cortisol levels, and why am I doing that to myself? I don’t want that. I stopped watching TV and Movies after that. I just create content now. I only listen to music for my media consumption. I just don’t get people that need to watch horror to be terrified. I don’t need horror to be terrified. I can just, turn on the TV, or, go outside!

Indeed, I’m a broke wook looking to get paid. The getting paid aspect isn’t a hard requirement but I would like that option, /if it’s available/. The primary concern is archiving old content. I can work on monetization through live streaming or other means. As it stands I can either let content become dust blown in the wind or it can be archived somewhere. Twitch highlights (as of now) seem to last forever, I guess I can always make a highlight starting at t=+00:10 and ending at t=-00:10 but IDK if I’ll eventually get an email from twitch saying that I’m “using too much storage”.
