Brighteon.com free speech video platform rolls out new features: Video categories, channel subscribes, viewer donations and more

Brighteon.com, the free speech alternative to YouTube, has now rolled out a series of promised new features that help video content creators get more visibility (and build followers).

The new features, now active on Brighteon.com, include:

• Channel “subscribe” feature allows followers to subscribe to video channels they like. Once subscribed, all the recent videos from their favorite channels appear for that user on the home page of Brighteon.com.
• No shadowbanning. Users see all the videos of the channels they follow.
• Automatic categories for all videos, and a new home page that shows videos by category: Politics, Health, Food, Climate, Survival, Finance, Science, etc. Owners of videos can determine video categories by adding keyword tags to their videos, and they can change their video categories by changing those keyword tags.
• Video “likes” so that users can express their support for the videos they like.
• New dashboard enhancements for channel owners, including the ability to see total subscribers, total channel likes and more.
• Fully-integrated support for “Donate” buttons for channel owners who have SubscribeStar accounts. (Enter your SubscribeStar account ID in your dashboard, and the “Donate” button automatically goes to your SubscribeStar account page.)

At the same time, we’ve removed “Editor’s Picks” so that Brighteon editors are no longer involved in picking which videos appear on the home page. Now, the process is driven purely by fair, simple algorithms that are applied exactly the same across all channels and videos.

As always, there is no surveillance of users. Unlike evil tech giants like YouTube and Facebook, Brighteon does not track which videos are viewed by which users and does not build psychological profiles of users. The only thing we keep track of is a user’s channel subscribes (so that we can show that user the videos from the channels they follow).
