Platform comparison

Why owned video beats
platform dependency.

YouTube and social video platforms take between 30–55% of your revenue, own your audience data, and can demonetise or deprioritise your content at any time. MediaStack gives you the infrastructure to own all of it.

The reality

Platform dependency is a business risk, not a distribution strategy.

"Every view on YouTube is a reader you don't own. Every dollar earned is taxed by someone else's platform. Owned video changes that equation permanently."
