Buy.Video: A New Platform Empowers Creators with Direct Revenue and Ownership

2 hours ago7 min read2 comments

A new platform, Buy. Video, is challenging the status quo of digital content by offering video creators a direct path to their audience and a significantly larger share of revenue.This model directly counters the dominant ad-supported systems of major platforms, which often leave artists with minimal earnings despite high view counts. By functioning as a dedicated storefront, Buy.Video grants filmmakers, animators, and other visual artists full control over how they sell their work—whether through downloads, rentals, or exclusive content—and allows them to set their own prices. This shift promises to transform sporadic ad payouts into sustainable income, echoing the empowering impact Bandcamp had on the music industry.The platform's success, however, depends on its ability to cultivate a vibrant community of both creators and buyers, overcoming the consumer habit of expecting free, ad-supported content. Despite this challenge, a growing demand for direct artist support and creator-owned models, influenced by trends in Web3, suggests the market is ready for an alternative that values artistic independence and fair compensation.
