Videos are windows into people's worlds.
Videos tell stories that inspire us, teach us, entertain us, and help us grow.
It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, or what you do.
You can think of at least one video that's changed your life.
That's the power that videos have.
The power to connect with us to make our lives better.
Video platforms like YouTube and TikTok decide when your videos are shown to who and how much money it'll make. And they also have the power to remove them.
97% of YouTubers don't make enough money from their videos to break the poverty line. That's even when YouTube gives 68% of its ad revenue back to creators every year.
TikTok is even worse. Only people in 6 countries have the ability to join the Creator Fund, from which creators get 100x less than they would on YouTube per view.
The Ads model has made it so we're forced to care more about the hype from views than we care about making great videos.
On Glass, videos are owned by the people, not the platform.
Every video is an NFT, or a piece of digital property. When you create it, you own it.
You decide how and when it gets monetized. And the community decides what videos get to be put on the platform.
