NickB, you are often rather snippy about other people's posts and now you are complaining, absurdly, about free speech, so don't expect too much sympathy.
However, your obvious knowledge of the industry and your ideas and theories generally are most welcome, so I for one will be disappointed if you stop posting but wish you well, either way.

In 32 days time we will have launched…exciting! 😃

Toys & Pram come to mind.

Good comment from Jeff Rosica the outgoing CEO and President at Avid


‘Unbreaking217; An Industry: Fixing an industry-wide mess.

The media and entertainment industry is facing unprecedented times with challenges coming from nearly all angles. From business model disruptions to vastly changing operating approaches, and from massive technology shifts to substantial pressures on the industry’s global ecosystem, I believe the industry needs to face these headwinds with new thinking, different approaches and aligning better together to navigate this all successfully.'


Totally agree with that.

It’s either great technology for the big boys to invest in or it’s not and there is no time left for them as we are at a most significant inflection point in video creation.

So if the big boys are not interested in leveraging our tech and new product then we effectively become a creator video app startup and will have to become the next Canva or Figma with a fundraise through AIM 🤯

Simple

Distorting what I say just comes across as petulant NickB. There can't be many more toys in that pram or, for that matter judging by your posts, shares either. Your posts go from one extreme to the other. Only a couple of weeks ago you were eulogising about the player and saying who wouldn't use elevate with the integration of the player given it will assist monetisation. That was the main point I was reiterating.

[nick2412] 27/2/2024 23:46

I'd be delighted with an early takeover but BIRD will be in a stronger position to negotiate a higher price once they get traction. At some stage, the player will be integrated and BIRD will sell/offer data feedback to creators just as Google do for website creators. BIRD the Google analytics equivalent of video? Probably not, but it will 'steer' (to use Steven Streater's word) subscribers to elevate and help monetisation for both the creator and BIRD.

[nickb] 27/2/2024 23:46

Sounds a nice little business that can slowly grow over time.

[nick2412] 27/2/2024 23:31

Thanks pat-cash, I totally agree with your thoughts rather than NickB's doom and gloom outlook if BIRD isn't taken over for 2 trillion within the next 12 weeks. That seems an extreme mindset as there is a highly lucrative middle ground. I suspect Mo Valens and Sumit Rai might just have a tad more experience and knowledge about effective strategy. They built up 1m users with a vastly inferior offering.

As you say pat, partnerships are a low-cost way of getting early traction and profitability. A smaller profit from each payer from a much larger number of subscribers that are accumulated much more quickly with a strategy that preserves cash sounds fine to me. The approach doesn't exclude the possibility of a partnership with one of the very large players either. Neither does it exclude the prospect of a takeover which I suspect will happen this year.

Another mind blown 🤯 video / audio Ai creator announcement today to add to last weeks!

[nickb] 27/2/2024 23:15

Geh
I hope so.

Perhaps outsource to a digital marketing agency?

[nickb] 27/2/2024 23:12

Partner with a video Ai company would also be interesting.

…….

Bonio (you are right I should have sold some)
EVS video editing sales are going through the roof?

A nice little deal with a fabulous company but…
Oh and talk of GV why no deal when GV are open to partners?

[geheimnis2] 27/2/2024 22:08

Does the gang realise they probably need to market the product?

[sideshowbull] 27/2/2024 21:23

Sorry off topic BIRD:


Boni loves gold so an olive branch.

No advice

Boni I lost respect for you once you lied about me,

- I am over it but can I trust you?

NOT!

I think Nick forgot he wasn't posting from his Salmon9 login.

[sideshowbull] 27/2/2024 21:07

Okay no bullying,

I don't trust anyone wearing Cuban heals either.
