Xintube.com
Miami/Fort Lauderdale Area
YouTube a once incredible innovation has now become a predatory player keeping a higher-than-normal percentage of revenues generated. Most "platform-type marketplaces" keep typically a much lower part of the revenues and provide a lot more revenue back to the people who do the actual work (Uber, iTunes, etc).
We are creating a new video platform that can provide content creators with an alternative to Youtube and which can pay multiples of what Youtube pays. It is called XINTUBE​. XIN is new in Chinese. We launch in Q3 2020 and are a US-centric, Asian-friendly, and Hispanic-powered Miami-based firm.
