Actors, writers, creators, and musicians, along with film, TV, video, and music producers have long faced an uphill battle for equitable and transparent financial outcomes due to a system stacked with intermediaries and opaque accounting practices. “Hollywood Accounting” and “black-box" streaming revenue shares are obvious culprits, but there are many other parties in the mix as well. All of these points in the chain once created value and were necessary to be successful, but with all of the modern technology we have today, managing self distribution and marketing are easier than ever.

Blockchain and smart contracts, as part of modern content distribution and the explosion of social media marketing, offer such an enormous benefit to creators, empowering them to combine these tools to easily publish, sell, track, payout, receive royalties, and audit in real time.

With crypto absolutely ripping (again), and a new baseline locked in with BTC and ETH ETFs established, if you’re in the media business and you haven’t played with Web3 at all yet, what are you even doing? We’re way past the NFT craze, and building for real with a trillion dollar asset class.

We’ve made blockchain-based video very easy for you to play with. Take a few minutes today, tonight, or this weekend to try it out! These are not cartoon jpgs or a marketing ploy. This is a genuine use of blockchain technology, foundational infrastructure, and a paradigm shift for storytelling, accounting, ownership, and royalties.

Rad TV has always been supporters of enabling content ownership with technologies like sideloading, local media server support, and even RSS fees.

Rad TV enables you to play content you own by leveraging local media servers like Jellyfin, Kodi, Stremio, Emby, Plex, and more, and you can even attach a hard drive to your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, PSVR1, or PSVR2 to access those files directly.

The VR applications can support up to 8K 3D video content in H.264 or H.265 encodings, and you can mix VR video and traditional video in the same network or drive. There are various different things to consider across devices in terms of encodings and support, but check out the docs for more information.

Making a business out of video content creation is hard. You get buried in a sea of options, other creators vying for attention, bad economics, algorithms changing on a whim, and some platforms not accepting content.

Outside of thumbnail optimizations, clickbait titles, and viral memes, what can you do? What if you could innovate with your content distribution, find new audiences and fans who buy and consume content in new ways, and take more of the revenue share in the process?
