Veamcast Business Model

Veamcast is free for personal use (with limits on bandwidth and storage)

Veamcast can be downloaded and used for free by anyone. 
Non paying Veamcast users are currently hosted on Amazon Web Services and we will monetize their traffic with advertising offering users a choice when possible and favoring local business promotion when possible.   To begin with, we'll use that space mostly to promote Veamcast.

  Our plan is to allow paid users to host their content on the various cloud services available.  They will be able to use their own branding, place their own ads and they will establish their own terms of service (which as Parler proved, can be overridden by the cloud). 

Veamcast is a software as a service (SAAS) company and will only assume responsibility for free users who we'll host on our social network. 

Our paid user will own their own accounts on those clouds leaving all Section 230 liability to them and ultimately the cloud provider.  Our users can move their content to another cloud or server if they're banned by a cloud.  So while we agree with the AWS decision to remove Parler, we don't like that they unilaterally have that ability.

Veamcast users will be able to publicly report content anywhere on the Internet that violates the law and we'll make that searchable so in essence we'll be crowd moderating the entire Internet.  The Veamcast browser will warn users of sensitive content reported by fellow users.   User generating content with Veamcast can tag their own content if it's unsafe for children, work or just requires general discretion.

We also plan to give our paid users various options to monetize their content which should result in a much better deal for them than the one given by YouTube or Facebook.

We plan to establish a system of equitably dividing revenue between advertiser, broadcaster and copyright owners. We plan to index all public Veamcast content, make it searchable and submit it to other search engines.
