This is Flattr

  • 0:03 - 0:07
    On the Internet, you can create or take part of content.
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    When you create, there's not really a good way
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    to get money for the content,
  • 0:11 - 0:13
    and when you find something you like,
  • 0:13 - 0:15
    there's no good way to show love for it.
  • 0:15 - 0:17
    This problem is universal,
  • 0:17 - 0:19
    for blogger and their readers,
  • 0:19 - 0:21
    musicians and their listeners,
  • 0:21 - 0:22
    photographers, film creators,
  • 0:22 - 0:25
    programmers and so on.
  • 0:25 - 0:28
    So we created Flattr to solve this.
  • 0:28 - 0:30
    This is how it works:
  • 0:30 - 0:34
    Every month, the Flattr user pays a small fee.
  • 0:34 - 0:36
    Let's compare it with birthday cake.
  • 0:36 - 0:37
    When you have a cake,
  • 0:37 - 0:40
    you want to give slices to the people you like.
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    Flattr helps you do that.
  • 0:42 - 0:43
    If you've created something,
  • 0:43 - 0:45
    you can add a Flattr button to your content,
  • 0:45 - 0:47
    or if you find something you like,
  • 0:47 - 0:50
    and there's a Flattr button besides the content,
  • 0:50 - 0:51
    you click it.
  • 0:51 - 0:53
    Each button is a counter showing
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    how many people are willing to give cake for the content.
  • 0:57 - 0:59
    At the end of the month,
  • 0:59 - 1:00
    your cake is sliced in as many pieces
  • 1:00 - 1:03
    as you clicked Flattr buttons.
  • 1:03 - 1:07
    Each slice is then given to the correct content creator.
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    If you click 10 buttons,
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    the 10 creators will get a tenth of the cake each.
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    If you click 100 buttons,
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    the 100 creators will get a 100th of the cake.
  • 1:17 - 1:19
    The slices might be small,
  • 1:19 - 1:22
    but everyone's slices will all add up,
  • 1:22 - 1:23
    or as we say in Sweden,
  • 1:23 - 1:27
    "Many small streams will form a large river"
  • 1:27 - 1:30
    As a creator, you will get money you've never got before.
  • 1:30 - 1:32
    As a consumer, you can help creators out
  • 1:32 - 1:34
    with just a small click.
  • 1:34 - 1:35
    If you haven't guessed it,
  • 1:35 - 1:38
    Flattr is a wordplay of "flatter" and "flatrate".
  • 1:38 - 1:41
    With a flatrate fee, you can flatter people.
