    love the idea. way better than playing video games. control a real person instead of a char in a video game. i hope they start doing first-person pov live stuff soon.

    Idk if u read and checked it imdb, but it's basically a money grab. The creator makes some vid, asks audience to vote from 2 choices (each vote costs 5$ and u can vote as much as u like, so if someone is rich they can basically enforce their opinion on the choice by voting multiple times) and then the creator provides update video or smth with the most voted of the 2 choices. Total money grab and "control my life" or whatever slogans are only to grab attention. Still, I do not see it becoming big if u have to spend $5 to vote. Unless of course, you can view the videos and updates without paying (meaning without voting). Then I can see a lot of people using it like tik-tok in a way , without paying anything. And when it gets popular, u only need a few whales to sponsor everything. Oh and u can also make bids, meaning u pay a custom amount to a creator and he does what u wanted him to do. Ofc he can reject too and u don't spend ur money if he does. But that's already possible... This just provides a(nother) platform for it.
