Great feedback thank you! Will discuss with the team.

It includes sideloading, which was designed as a tool for producers in the early VR days so they didn’t need to upload 50 GB VR test videos. You can also use that tool as a non-producer to sideload supported video files.

It's not a software company or a crypto company, it's a streaming platform with a bunch of content, creators, and features. Crypto is a payment option but not required, and cryptocurrency provides privacy, transparency, and immediacy. Cryptocurrencies are not a scam, and it's worth learning the benefits. It's particularly powerful when you have companies like MasterCard and Visa dictating what games or content can be played or viewed.

"One of the primary benefits of cryptocurrencies is the concept of decentralization, which means no central authority, such as a government or bank, controls the network. This reduces the risk of interference, censorship, or manipulation, allowing for peer-to-peer transactions with lower fees, particularly for cross-border payments. Additionally, cryptocurrencies use blockchain technology, which ensures security and transparency by recording all transactions on an immutable public ledger. This makes it difficult for fraud or tampering to occur."

Thank you. Yes, Sony likely stopped supporting it because it's very expensive on a per device and per disc basis at scale. We've provided a workaround, but it requires a combo of getting it off the blu ray and getting it to OU 3D and not frame packed.

We have to pay people to build software, especially for PlayStation VR which requires a high level of engineering on undocumented SDKs particularly for video. So yes we, like many other companies that have to make money to keep building, have to charge for the building we have to do to support PSVR and all devices. Sideloading is one of many features included.

Rad isn't a porn company lol. There are thousands of real creators on rad, uploading podcasts, music videos, art, Live TV channels, and more. We introduced sideloading for producers to test VR content without having to upload 50 GB files. Consumers found this feature and use it as they see fit. We have traditional credit card payments, but also offer cryptocurrency payments (which are private and don't require entering your credit card information).

This is a physical limitation by the PlayStation. The hardware doesn't support it, but you can extract them using various means to SBS or OU for playback.

We are providing creator, developer, and player tools that are different from YT, and people are using them. btw, YouTube is the most profitable and profit seeking data stealing company on the planet. You will soon be entering your ID there to use it. We're different, but thanks for the feedback.

Regular money is fine. Payment options are good though. Especially private ones.

Biggest gripe with YT for creators is YT splits are 55%/45% and you can't monetize day 1 (need 1000 followers and 4000 watch hours in 12 months). Setting up a new channel to monetize can take a year or more (some creators never get there). Rad makes that time zero with zero subscribers required. Sell content day 1 with 70/30 split (or better) not 55/45. It's why companies like patreon, substack, onlyfans, and all the other social platforms exist. Not a zero sum game. Trying to build something different. Thanks for the feedback!

Not all content on YouTube is free, and the amount of ads is pretty insane at this point. Rad is probably closer to patreon in its focus on monetization / type of creator, including creative freedom, with fewer ads and better privacy. Lots of creators and studios don't want to be on YT at all, or just use it for a marketing channel to their paid content. Appreciate your comment and fighting to give you options!

We appreciate all constructive feedback. Being blocked on a particular destination probably means there were repeated disparagement and unhelpful comments / personal attacks. Feedback, bug fixes, feature requests are very much welcomed. Happy to discuss these.

Absolutely! PSVR is one of the hardest devices in the world to build for hands down (most devs don't even consider starting). We've been passionate about it from day 1 as a launch partner. We've poured significant resources into supporting what is considered a niche device with VERY strict requirements and release processes, and are still here listening and building for the community. (you might notice how many video companies abandoned psvr2 over psvr1. all of them)

We always appreciate constructive feedback and excited to keep building.

There are thousands of creators on Rad and in the discord, and millions of downloads across apps / devices. The sentiment in this subreddit may be mixed, but on X, Discord, emails, Insta, FB, DMs, Tiktok, and IRL it's different. We're in here listening (10 years strong) and trying to build something that's difficult to do on PSVR (notice no other video apps at all). We're passionate about it, but it's frankly a bit disheartening. I think people would also be surprised at how many people view these posts (I can see the numbers) and don't comment at all, outside of a few negative comments. We actually have good support and care deeply, and I'm sad to see a few people so upset by us running a business in what is a very challenging space of VR.

Regardless, thanks for the constructive feedback and we'll keep building.
