Floatplane is a new independent video hosting platform designed to be both video host and income source for content creators - in effect, Patreon and YouTube in one package. It is not intended to replace YouTube's variety of content, but rather to act as a source for specific discreet channels. There is no advertising, and no algorithmic video discovery on Floatplane. Videos are available for both streaming and download through a couple different subscription plans.
Please note that this will not replace either YouTube or Patreon for me - both of those sites provide significant, valuable services. I will continue to post all my completely free and public content on YouTube. Floatplane is simply a way to avoid having all my eggs in one basket in case something catastrophic happens to YouTube or Patreon.

I went over to Floatplane. It looks kinda hoakie. I am not sure about it. If it had some sort of free demo mode that I could see it in use first before I set up an account it would be nice. Maybe some sort of sign in as guest. I like it as an option and I am glad you are promoting it. Unlike some promoting a product or service, you did discuss cost, which shows transparency. It is appreciated. $7 a month isn't bad, but do I only get Forgotten Weapons for that? Do I get to watch/ download any other channels? If so is it because there are no commercials?
