Something will happen. People will get tired of the low pay and figure something out. If all the content creators really banded together and stopped making content for the platform.... Would it make a dent? Maybe, maybe not.
I wonder if you could combine the hype of a crowdfunding campaign with a VOD service? Somehow show the audience that they are helping create and support the next filmmakers project, while watching their content?
Seed & Spark kinda does this already. But I don't really like their choices for film content. Some of them are way too trendy.
I wish there was another platform that could combine Twitch aspects with Vimeo services.
I was honestly thinking about building a Twitch or Youtube following, and then asking for donations to build a "fund this film" pot for other crowdfunding campaigns.
How cool would it be to be a youtube or twitch streamer, actively looking for cool crowdfunding projects to fund with your fans. You would also give the filmmakers your following as a potential audience. It would be a win win.
