Patreon’s Building Native Video Hosting For Creators To Sidestep YouTube
https://www.theverge.comPatreon is building a video hosting solution and native player. Conte didn’t share more details on the product, but it’s presumably a way for creators to host and share video without leaving the platform.
Still, Conte’s acknowledgment of the goal and progress on allowing creators to natively host their videos on Patreon could allow more people to avoid YouTube, or at least not rely on it so heavily. The company also maintains an integration with Vimeo that might become less important as this feature launches.
