𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴? I think @yanowitz said it best in a recent Empire podcast episode: "The endgame of social-led distribution of audio and video is two sides of the spectrum -- you have livestreaming and you have short clips." The key here is *distribution*. @giu and I still firmly believe in long-form video as the content form that generates the most value over time, and remains evergreen (hence the name of the company :)) That said, the current information landscape is noisy, messy, and polluted with slop. In order to cut through, you have to bifurcate into real-time community-oriented content (livestreaming) and quick async bursts that can capture attention through the slop (clips) What we want to do with livestreaming on Pinetree is to enable creators to have one place where they can create content that gets distributed and seen, while also converting viewers into subscribers and fans that stick around for the long-term value. We are of course, still in the very early days, but livestreaming is a foundational piece to build the best video platform for creators

𝗧𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆'𝘀 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 Today's launch is a soft launch. We've allow-listed a few casters who will be able to stream, in order to iron out the last few kinks in production Once we harden the product a bit, we will open up streaming to everyone shortly (ETA 2-3 weeks most likely). If you want to stream ASAP on Pinetree, DM me, and I'll get you allowlisted If you just want to watch the streams, you can do so in our webapp or in FC via the mini app. There are bound to be bugs, so again, DM me if you run into any issues! It takes a village to ship a great product, and we are relying on the FC fam to help us harden livestreaming before we open it up to more and more people @giu will also be doing a live AMA at 3:30p ET – tune in: https://pinetree.so/live/giu
