I have a YouTube channel with 33 videos and 68k views that I never made a cent on because of all the roving copyright claims and complete inability for smaller creators to be heard on the platform. I made more on my first video at Cinnamon than I ever did on YouTube, with only a fraction of the followers. Traditional Social Media companies make billions off the content of their users, and share only a very small fraction of that revenue with those creators. Those creators run the risk of being demonetized or deplatformed at any moment.
Cinnamon Video has a much fairer model, you get paid instantly for the time Subscribers spent watching your video. You know longer need to pepper your videos with ads, or interrupt your own content to mention your sponsor (which is super annoying as a consumer) - you can just create the content you want to create.
It's an incredible platform and my life has absolutely improved for having found it.
