It's hard to compete with Brad Pitt's new movie. Luckily, as an independent content creator you now have F3's latest streaming platform--one that plans on shaking up the whole streaming-monetization business model. The Sacramento Bee is reporting that F3 Technologies has sealed a deal to grab an unprecedented catalogue of Hollywood movies for its streaming catalogue, one that already invites independent content creators to stream their work for revenue.
"Significantly, Hollywood studios and other content owners distributing through FargoTube receive a markedly increased revenue share compared with other competing platforms such as Netflix.
"It has been apparent over the past few weeks that Netflix is currently struggling just to keep current films in its streaming library, let alone add new titles; it has also been clear while their business model works for DVD rentals, maintaining a meaningful streaming library has presented a completely different set of challenges. With increased competition in today's streaming market, movie studios are now demanding a higher percentage of revenues generated by providers such as Netflix.
"Therefore, F3 Technologies plans to soon unveil its 'new' FargoTube platform experience to fans, performers, customers, and investors. We believe offering a wider range of new movies, music, and shows will be an effective enticement to further increase subscribers on the FargoTube platform," [F3's chief executive officer Frank] Connor concluded."
