Since my integrity was questioned (not maliciously, just
questioned)...I wanted to explain my position and feelings about Veoh.
(Note: I do NOT represent veoh. These are my personal thoughts.)
1) My name is John Halcyon Styn. Aka cockybastard.com. I have
considered myself a digital explorer for over 10 years now, so this is
not the first media revolution I have been excited to be a part
of...which has pros and cons. :)
2) I have known Dmitry for...8 years? We've worked together and
brainstormed dozens of projects. We built citizenx.com together 6
years ago.
Before Veoh had a name, I spent many hours with Dmitry getting excited
about the new media revolution happening. As Veoh has become a real
company with real product, I have continued to use it heavily and
chime in frequently. I have done (and continue to do) interface
consulting and "test piloting" including asking for features. I
realize I have very different views than many on this list and fear my
"advise" may have mis-steered Veoh at times (or at least
misrepresented vloggers priorities). I believe this is why Dmitry is
looking to expand his advisory group to include people here.
3) I should mention that the majority of my work the last few years
has been consulting for the online adult industry. I have lots of
experience with (adult) video distribution on the web and the total
lack of control that content creators maintain once something is
public. (Or even if it is not public). Some of my duties have been
in trying to ensure the creator gets value from the distribution even
as the content gets away from them. In this early beta of Veoh, it
isn't yet apparent, but I honestly believe that Veoh will be the best
solution to empower content creators.
I could tell you more about why I love Veoh, but maybe that is for
another day (perhaps after Veoh's response to the current debate). I
just wanted to disclose my relationship with Dmitry.
