Once upon a time, a wise man (@aljaz ) said:
Recently I saw on nostr this post about a Julian Assange documentary:
So I open their webpage and saw that are accepting BTC for the premiere. But no indication of what platform will be streamed or how the bitcoiner will watch it.
An elegant way (especially for bitcoiners) will be to stream it on a dedicated platform, supporting "pay-per-view" or "pay-per-stream" system, like:
- excellent, cheap (to upload), easy to use platform, by @justin_shocknet
- you can embed the videos anywhere you want
- you can set also a teaser section or just post a "free-to-view" clip
- live streaming option
- I have suggestion Justin: add option to make a video post to be "private", to not show in the public listing discovery. This is good for content creators that only want to use the platform to share in private their paid videos.
- more enterprise focus platform
- no option to embed the video on other sites
- no sure how much you pay for hosting
- split payments
- Use your own platform using LNbits
- example: https://btcoriginstories.com
- use the paywall to setup your videos and embed them anywhere you want
- use the split extension if you want to split each payment into pieces for each contributor of the video (editor, film maker, janitor, whatever)
- stream the videos from your own repository (no paid hosting)
Any content creator, documentary film maker, courses organizers could use these platforms and charge directly in sats. These are just simple ideas that can be applied to a various use cases. Important is that you use Bitcoin with.
actually we do have the unlisted option

I saw this announcement on nostr too. It is an interesting marketing idea. I like your plan.
Imagine you have a business that is offering courses for a specific thing, let's say is quite a niche demand for it... wine tasting with a licensing award.
You are organizing classes on site, with real wine testing (cata) and learning.
But also you can offer explanatory online videos courses, pre-admission to the exams that people can just pay-per-view, comfortably at home.
Or whatever other course...
These platforms are a way to push people to use Bitcoin and also buy your products.
