Conservatives rightly take a lot of flak for endlessly whining about the culture war while persistently failing to fight on the cultural level. At best, the Death Cult’s notional opponents fund movies no one but National Review subscribers will see or launch alt tech platforms that are either garbage, fed honeypots, or re-skinned versions of existing services.
Yesterday the counterculture game may just have changed with the soft launch of cozy.tv.
The brainchild of dissident rabble rouser Nicholas J. Fuentes, Cozy TV distinguishes itself from previous live streaming alternatives by having been purpose-built to host streamers who’ve been banned from all the respectable sites. Development started about two years ago when Fuentes lost his massively popular YouTube account. After that he streamed on DLive, which also banned him. Nick’s America First show moved to its own web site, which served as an alpha version of cozy.tv. It worked so well that the Woke Cult snitches who previously canceled Fuentes complained they were powerless to deplatform him from the new site.
In a leap forward from americafirst.live, Cozy TV will feature other dissident streamers besides Nick Fuentes. The site’s first stream featured Vince James, formerly of Red Elephants. Jaden McNeil, who was similarly banned from Chinese platform Trovo and threatened with expulsion from his university over politics, is the third cozy.tv streamer to date. Fuentes has stated that more live stream hosts will be announced.
Though Cozy TV is still in beta, Vince’s inaugural stream went well. According to Fuentes, viewer feedback from the beta test will be applied to the site’s finished version. Additional features will include superchats based on cryptocurrency and an o7 button.
It’s been a long windup, but so far Cozy TV looks like a strong contender for the streaming alternative the counterculture has desperately needed since YouTube went scorched earth on dissenters.
Support creators building alternative culture, and don’t give money to people who hate you.
How is it funded? That’s where the rubber hits the road.
When Nick needs the money, he’ll tell you how to donate. The cult of death isn’t profit motivated.
A French millionaire left Nick what at the time was $250K in bitcoin in his will. That was a couple of years ago, so the value has probably doubled.
That’s the kind of thing that you assume only happens in mystery or detective novels, as the setup for the plot. Just goes to show that truth is stranger than fiction.
It’ll be interesting to see how Cozy opens up. I went ahead and made an account for myself. Hopefully they’re planning to expand beyond just political stuff to more general entertainment.
It’s be nice to stream in a space where success doesn’t mean feeding Amazon, Google, or Facebook.
Jaden McNeil’s channel is already devoted mainly to cozy chat and gaming streams.
But yes, Nick just said tonight that their goal is to add 1 streamer per week.
I wish him well. Social Galactic, Silver Empire, UATV…
God bless you all.
Speaking of which, Arktoons is gping gangbusters! W00t!
Brian,
I recently received an email newsletter from authour Johnathon Yanez announcing he’s created a production company to create TV shows and movies.
He’s announced his first project called Infinity System which he markets as the Mandolarian meets Westworld.
It’s been picked up and is in the process of choosing a director. Further, there’ll be a kickstarter for those interested in funding it.
So I guess the #NotHollywoodtvandmovies is gaining steam.
